A man seated on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print cushions and gilded lion figures, speaking into a microphone on a stand at right. He wears a rust-brown turban with a gold ornament at the brow, a brown saffron-toned garment draped over the shoulders, a white and yellow flower garland, layered gold necklaces, and gold armbands. A large heart-shaped backdrop of embroidered velvet in red, blue, green and orange with gold trim frames him, and a golden staff stands at left beside a deity murti. Maroon curtains hang behind. Swamiji (probable): the turban, long bearded face, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned clothing match the presentation of the archive's Swamiji, seated in discourse on the throne.
