A man seated on a carved wooden throne with leopard-print cushions, smiling and wearing a rust-brown robe, a long pink-and-white flower garland, a heavy gold necklace and bangles, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. A microphone stand stands beside him, a white cup sits on the armrest, and potted green plants surround the seat. Behind him hang red, yellow and blue patterned cloth banners and a red backdrop with brass lamps. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a saffron-toned robe, ornate gold necklace and a ceremonial garland, consistent with the page's reference to a seated discourse.
