A seated figure in a deep red fan-pleated turban with a small white brooch and gold trim waves his right hand during a talk. He wears a red and purple silk shawl over a saffron-and-purple garment, a long beaded necklace and gold bangles. Before him stands an open orange-cased tablet, and a red basket of apples sits at right. Behind him is an ornate gold palanquin-style frame draped with garlands of white, yellow, orange and red flowers and gold tassels. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with long swept-back hair, ornate red turban, rudraksha-style adornment and ceremonial gold necklaces is seated on a throne-like dais giving a discourse. Seated on a gold-and-red throne, a single speaker; the visible crowd is absent from the frame.
