A man with long swept-back hair and a full beard sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and a leopard-print cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange robe over one shoulder, a heavy gold-toned ceremonial necklace with a large pendant, rudraksha-style brown beads, and beaded wrist bands. An open book rests on a small gold stand before him. A golden trident stands at left, and gilded carved figures and a gold canopy frame the stage. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron-orange clothing, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha-style malas match the page's discourse context, and he is seated as the speaker on the throne.
