A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a red sleeveless undershirt sits on a cream cushioned throne-style seat before a dark red curtain. He wears a red bindi, holds a folded paper in one hand, and rests his other hand on his knee, looking off to the side while a gooseneck microphone stands beside him. On the left, a table draped with a gold-fringed cloth holds a bowl of yellow and orange flowers with green leaves, a small brass vessel, a bottle and books. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long swept-back hair, and ceremonial seated setting match the discourse described on the page, so this figure is identified as the speaker by appearance only. Other cushions and a flower arrangement fill the stage.
