A smiling man seated on an ornate red-upholstered throne with silver armrests shaped like serpents, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears an orange-saffron turban, a saffron-brown robe, gold necklaces, a pink and white flower garland, and rust-coloured beaded bangles on both upper arms and wrists. A tilak mark is visible on his forehead. Behind him stand floral arrangements in red and yellow and a tall column of tasselled red, yellow, green and blue ornaments. A small framed portrait sits on the left armrest table next to an orange bottle. The scene suggests a seated discourse on stage. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair under a turban, saffron-orange ornate clothing and a gold necklace on a throne, so the candidate is in person.
