A man seated on a red velvet throne-style chair speaks into a microphone on a stage. He wears a rust-orange turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, a bare chest with an orange-brown shawl, a long pink and white flower garland, layered gold chains and a large gold pendant, and red-beaded bracelets. His hands are open in an expository gesture. Beside him are a silver staff with a carved serpent-like top, an orange flask, a small framed portrait, and a silver tray. Behind him hang red, yellow and white flowers and colourful tassels. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron-toned shawl, gold chains and ceremonial bearing are consistent with the page's identification, and he is presented as a seated teacher during discourse.
