A seated man in white and gold dhoti and shawl sits on a red tiger-striped throne framed by a gilded arch and rainbow bands of marigolds and flowers. He wears a heavy gold multi-strand necklace, a gold bangle and a red bindi, and holds up a book with a portrait cover at a microphone stand. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and ceremonial throne are visible cues, with a book held up at a microphone. A silver tray of flowers sits at the feet. Text on the book cover is partly obscured.
