A man seated on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print cushions speaks into a microphone during a discourse. He wears a rust-brown turban with a jewelled ornament, a rust-brown dhoti-style garment edged in gold, and heavy layered gold and white floral garlands. Gold bangles and an armlet adorn his arms, and he has a long dark beard and swept-back hair. Behind him hangs a richly embroidered backdrop in red, green, navy and orange with sequins and mirror work, beside a deep red curtain. A single figure is visible, and the scene reads as a satsang or public discourse. Swamiji (probable): long hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned robes, seated on the throne as the speaker.
