A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with intricate repoussé scrollwork behind him, speaking into a gooseneck microphone. He wears a rust-red turban with a small red bindi on his forehead, a saffron-red shawl draped over a gold-bordered garment, a long multi-strand beaded necklace of brown beads, gold earrings, and a blue-beaded bracelet. His right hand is raised in a teaching gesture. Swamiji (probable): the turban, red-orange robes, ornate gold throne and beaded mala match the page's identification, though his face cannot be used to confirm it. Green foliage is visible at the lower left edge.
