A seated man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a maroon-and-gold border sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne carved with lion-like figures and floral panels. He wears a heavy gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead; his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. He gestures with both hands while speaking. Pink flowers and white shell strings decorate the backdrop, and white flower petals lie on the dais. Swamiji (probable) on a throne, teaching in a discourse setting, with saffron clothing, long hair and gold ornaments as the distinguishing cues.
