A smiling bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne draped with a leopard-print cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-brown turban with a gold crest, a bare-shouldered rust-brown garment, layered white and gold flower and bead garlands, gold bangles and a gold armlet. Behind him hangs a large decorated backdrop of orange, green, blue and red embroidered panels with jewel-like studs, in front of a deep red curtain. The composition suggests a seated discourse setting. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a turban, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha-style garlands, matching the page's note that Swamiji is present.
