A man in rust-brown and gold-bordered sannyasi robes sits cross-legged on a red velvet and tiger-striped throne cushion in front of an ornate gold-leafed throne back with carved lions. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace with a pendant, a white bandaged forearm, a red bindi and a headset microphone, smiling as he holds a telephone handset. Gold lion statues flank him, with colourful tassel garlands hanging behind and dark red drapery. The scene suggests a satsang broadcast. The man is the probable Swamiji seated on the throne, with long swept-back hair not clearly visible; the figure wears saffron-brown robes, gold ornaments and a ceremonial necklace.
