A seated man in a rust-red turban and red-orange draped garment speaks to an unseen audience while gesturing with his right hand. He wears a long double rudraksha mala with a gold ceremonial necklace, a red tilak on his forehead, and a small gold ornament pinned to the turban. He sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold lion-head armrest, upholstered in red tiger-stripe fabric over a leopard-print cloth. Behind him is a large gilded arched backdrop and dark red drapery. The scene is a discourse setting. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair absent here, so the appearance cues are a turban, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace; he is the speaker seated on the throne.
