A seated man in an orange saffron robe speaks into a microphone on a stand, his right hand raised in an open gesture. He has long dark swept-back hair, a small red tilak on his forehead, and a heavy gold beaded necklace. He sits cross-legged on a low platform behind a wooden book stand holding a pink-covered book, with red zebra-print cushions on either side. Behind him hangs a pale green backdrop decorated with vertical strands of beads. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable identification based on the saffron robe, long hair and gold necklace.
