A seated man in an orange-red turban with gold ornament and a bare-chested orange-saffron garment, wearing long multi-strand gold beaded necklaces and gold armlets, smiles while a microphone stand is angled toward him. He sits on a leopard-print cushion before an ornately carved silver backdrop and a richly embroidered throne cloth in green, navy and red with gold embellishments. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, crown-like turban ornament, saffron clothing and gold necklaces fit the presentation, and he is seated in the central place of honour on the stage. Blurred figures in the foreground, including one in green and another in purple, are partly visible at the edges.
