A seated man with long dark hair and a full beard smiles broadly on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and backrest. He wears a rust-brown shawl over an orange-red garment, with a red-orange cloth draped over his legs. A silver staff stands beside the throne, and a silver vessel and a brass dish sit on a table at right. Audience members in white and pastel clothing fill the hall behind him, including a woman with a bindi and gold jewellery at left. A pale curtain forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate throne, saffron-toned shawl and orange clothing.
