A seated man in a rust-red draped robe and long gold beaded necklaces raises one hand while speaking at a discourse. He sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a carved lion-face back, holding a silver staff topped with a serpent-shaped finial. A silver book stand with carved scrollwork is in front of him. Behind him, devotees in orange and white sit in rows, and a woman in a red garment with a red-and-gold border sits in the foreground on the left. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker has long swept-back hair, a crown-like forehead mark, ceremonial gold necklaces and a saffron-toned robe, matching the page's discourse context.

He wears a rust-red wrap over his shoulder, layered gold chains, a gold necklace, a gold pendant brooch, and beaded gold bangles on his arms, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. Around him, a large seated audience fills the hall; some men are bare-chested with orange-and-red cloths over their shoulders, and several women in white and orange saris sit in the foreground. The background shows a red and orange interior wall with a framed picture.
