A man with a bearded face and long dreadlocked hair sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a carved sun face on its back, in front of a pale curtain. He wears a rust-orange turban with a silver crescent and trident ornament, an orange-red robe with gold border draped over one shoulder, and a gold chain. He holds a wooden staff in one hand and a silver-handled staff in the other, smiling while wearing a head microphone. Seated audience members in white and light clothing are visible at the lower left and right. The man matches Swamiji (probable) by long dreadlocked hair, orange turban with crescent and ornate saffron robes; he is the seated speaker on the throne.
