A man seated on an ornate red velvet throne speaks into a microphone at a discourse. He wears a leopard-print headwrap with a gold crescent ornament, long dark hair swept back, a saffron-orange shawl, heavy gold bead necklaces, a gold hoop earring and a red bindi-style mark with white forehead markings. A small white carved animal figure is tucked at his upper arm, and his right hand is raised in a gesture while he speaks. Red drapery and a floral arrangement form the background. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, a crescent crown ornament, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces support this label for the seated speaker.
