A seated man in rust-orange silk draped over his torso sits on an ornate red throne with carved white lion-head arms, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with gold and jewelled ornaments and a yellow feather, a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant, a multi-strand rudraksha bracelet on each arm, and a rudraksha mala. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair and an ornate turban, saffron-orange robes and ornate gold necklaces on a teacher-seat during a discourse. Behind him hang red drapes beside a gold-carved pillar and a gong. A small copper pot stands at the lower left. Hall stage setting.
