A bearded man in an orange-brown turban decorated with silver ornaments and a leopard-print band sits on an ornate white and gold throne, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a red vermilion dot on his forehead, a pink flower garland, layered gold beaded necklaces, gold earrings and red-and-gold bangles, with an orange-brown robe. Behind him a gilded parasol with leaf-shaped hangings and a large gold sun-motif backdrop with a red cushion. Swamiji (probable): the figure matches the presentation cues of an orange turban, gold necklaces and a ceremonial throne, seated as a teacher giving a discourse.
