A man with long dark hair and a short beard sits on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, speaking into a handheld microphone while gesturing with his raised left hand. He wears an orange-red sleeveless shawl draped over one shoulder with a gold ornament at the neck and a red thread on his wrist, and a white tilak on his forehead. Behind him rises a large gilded carved throne back. Probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-orange shawl, ornate gold ornament and gilded throne, seated as the speaker.
