A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with elaborate golden scrollwork speaks into a microphone on a stand. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrapped as a headpiece over long dark dreadlocks, a red tilak mark on his forehead, and a rust-red shawl draped over his bare shoulders. He has multiple gold beaded necklaces and a gold bracelet, and his right hand is raised in an animated gesture while his left hand rests on his knee. The red curtain and gold filigree of the stage are behind him. Appearance-based cues of long swept hair, distinctive headwear, rust-red shawl and gold necklaces are consistent with the page's a person reference, so he is labelled as a probable Swamiji seated in person during a discourse.
