A seated figure in a red garment and a dark-haired, swept-back hairstyle sits on an ornate carved reddish-brown leather throne, holding an upright silver trident (trishul) beside him. He wears layered rudraksha malas around his neck and a red cloth over his body, and his hands are raised near his face in a gesture. Swamiji (probable) is shown in this seated role, with the dark swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and red attire as the qualifying cues. Around him a large audience sits in a bright hall, including a man with glasses in an orange-trimmed shawl at left, and several people in white and orange clothing. A water bottle sits on a side table, and a red banner hangs on the back wall.
