A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with carved gold lion heads and a leopard-print seat cushion, facing a microphone on a stand at right. He wears a tall black turban, a white tilak with a red bindi, a saffron-orange robe and a long white-and-red flower garland over rudraksha malas. A large painted backdrop of green leaves and a standing ascetic in white sits behind him. Swamiji (probable): the rudraksha malas, saffron robe, turban and ceremonial garland match the presentation cues for the page's subject, seated on a throne in discourse.
