A man seated on an ornate silver throne with repoussé floral and scrollwork backing, draped in leopard-print cushions, speaks into a microphone while gesturing with his right hand open. He wears a tall black turban-style head covering with a crescent ornament and rudraksha beads, a horizontal white tripundra with red centre on his forehead, a gold chain, a rust-orange robe with a beaded rudraksha mala across the chest, and bare shoulders. A silver staff with a finial stands at left, and a lion-faced carved armrest sits at right against a blue backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the figure has a turban with a crescent, rudraksha malas, orange robes and gold necklace, seated on a throne.
