A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate golden throne with a large arched backrest carved in floral and scroll patterns, upholstered in red cushions. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala of dark beads, with a red bindi on his forehead. His palms are raised in front of his chest as he speaks to an unseen audience at the lower left. Draped fabrics and a painted backdrop of temple imagery frame the scene. Several appearance cues (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala, a throne seat) match the Swamiji (probable) candidate, who is seated and teaching in front of the audience.
