A smiling man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne heavily garlanded with yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves. He wears a white turban with a red bindi, a white dhoti-style garment with a gold border, and a heavy gold necklace of ceremonial beads. A microphone on a stand is in front of him, and a gold-carved wooden lectern stands at left. Above, brass kalasha lamps and hanging garland strands decorate the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair, a turban and a gold ceremonial necklace, presented as the central speaker on the throne, consistent with a discourse setting.
