A seated man in a red-orange dhoti and matching red-orange shawl sits on an ornate silver-finished throne with a red cushion, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He has long dark hair falling past his shoulders, a beard, and white ash-like markings on his chest and arms. Beside him stand tall silver staffs with ornate finials, and a small silver table holds a red cloth. A dense audience fills the foreground and background, many women in saffron, yellow and red saris and salwar, with some men in white. A red carpeted stage and red curtains frame the scene. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron-orange clothing and ceremonial adornments, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance in a discourse setting.
