A man with long swept-back dark hair and a full beard sits cross-legged on a striped tiger-skin seat in front of a golden bull statue. He wears an orange-red shawl over his bare chest and a red-orange dhoti, holds a blue-handled microphone in one hand, and points upward with the index finger of the other. A seated audience in white, yellow and blue clothing fills the background under a pale draped tent, and a small red water bottle and a fan sit at the lower right. Probable Swamiji is seated mid-discourse, identified only by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, an orange-red shawl and ornate sitting arrangement.
