A smiling man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a red velvet cushion, speaking into a black microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with gold and jewelled ornaments and a vermilion mark on his forehead, a rust-orange shawl, a heavy gold necklace with floral pendants, a gold locket, and red-beaded bangles on his upper arms and wrists. Long dark hair falls behind him. Floral garlands in red, yellow and white hang at the right edge, and a painted backdrop of figures is visible behind him. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in person giving a discourse, with the throne, turban, saffron-orange clothing, long hair and gold ornaments as the qualifying cues.
