A man seated on a red velvet throne with carved white-and-gold arms, against an ornate gold backdrop, delivers a discourse into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-red turban decorated with a gold brooch, a crescent ornament and a yellow feather, a rust-red robe, a heavy gold necklace and gold armlets and bangles. His right hand is raised in a gesture of speech while his left rests on the armrest. A steel cup stands on a silver tray at the lower left. Visible appearance cues of long swept-back hair, turban, saffron-toned ornate clothing and gold adornments on a throne suggest probable Swamiji (probable) as the speaker, presented in a seated discourse setting.
