A man seated on an ornate white and red velvet throne with a red cushioned back, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a leopard-print crown topped with a crescent moon, a red bindi and white forehead markings, large gold earrings, and a rust-orange saffron garment draped over the shoulders with gold border. Heavy gold beaded necklaces and a gold-clasped waist chain hang on him. Long dark dreadlocks fall behind him. Behind the throne are colourful flower garlands in red, pink, yellow and white, and a white carved serpent and deity figure on the chair top. The setting is a ceremonial stage with red drapes. Swamiji (probable): long dreadlocks, crown, saffron ornate clothing and gold necklaces are visible cues of the speaking teacher seated on the throne.
