A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a large red velvet throne with a tall arched back, draped with a leopard-print cloth. He wears a rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces, gold armbands, and a white and red forehead marking, and holds a long black staff with gold tips while gesturing with his right hand during a talk. Brass oil lamps stand on each side, with vases of pink and white flowers and a water bottle nearby. The backdrop is a painted cosmic scene of orange clouds, crescent moons and stars. Swamiji (probable) is the seated speaker, identified by compatible appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces.
