A man seated on a red velvet throne with carved gilt backing, speaking into a microphone on a stand before dark red drapes. He wears a rust-red turban with a yellow feather plume, a jewelled pin and an emblem on the turban, and a rust-red shawl over a bare chest. He has heavy gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a white tilak on his forehead. A long dark braid hangs over one shoulder, and a silver-tipped staff rests beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): long hair, ornate saffron-orange clothing and a ceremonial gold necklace, seated as the speaker.
