A man seated on a leopard-print cushioned chair speaks into a microphone on a stand, one fist raised in a gesture of emphasis. He wears a deep red-orange turban with a vermilion tilak on his forehead, an orange-red robe draped over one shoulder, a brown beaded shawl, a red beaded wrist band and a gold-and-red armlet. Behind him are painted figures of seated ascetics with folded arms and a gilded seated deity-like figure, with a gilded lamp stand at left and a golden statue at right. The scene suggests a discourse setting. Swamiji (probable): the speaker shows long dark hair under the turban, a red-orange robe and distinctive ornamental armlet, consistent with a discourse by Swamiji.
