A bearded man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a raised seat draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth, smiling and holding a blue handheld microphone. He wears a rust-orange ochre wrap over his shoulders and an orange-red dhoti, with a red thread on his wrist and a small red tilak on his forehead. A golden ceremonial vessel with a curved spout stands at left, and a silver staff rests at right. Seated devotees in white and yellow clothing fill the blurred hall behind him, with a fan at lower right. Swamiji (probable) appears in person, identified only by the appearance cues of long hair, orange-ochre robes and a tiger-skin seat, not by face.
