A seated man in a rust-red wrap and a saffron-brown shawl sits on an ornate gold-and-wood throne with a small table holding a microphone, water bottle and cups, speaking and smiling in a courtyard. Behind him are a red wall, a dark bronze relief and two green-patinated standing figures. Around him, women and girls in bright orange and yellow saris sit on the floor facing him, several with hair in buns and flowers; a woman in orange sits to his right. A white pedestal fan stands at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a beard, a shawl and a throne, consistent with the page's reference to a discourse on Ganesh Chaturthi.
