A seated man in an orange-rust saffron robe and a leopard-print turban with a crescent ornament sits on a leopard-print cushioned chair before an ornate golden throne carved with floral scrollwork. He wears a long rudraksha mala with gold beads and a gold necklace, a red tilak on his forehead, and gestures with his raised right hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. A gold lion sculpture and a tasselled fringed staff stand beside him against a red curtain. The setting appears to be a stage for a discourse or satsang. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the robe, mala and turban cues.
