A bare-armed man with a swept-back dark beard and hair, wearing a rust-brown saffron-toned shawl and a heavy gold multi-strand garland with a large gold pendant, sits on a white carved throne with a red velvet seat. He raises both hands above his head with fingers joined in a triangular gesture, and a white vibhuti line and bindi mark his forehead. Behind him stand gilded deity murtis under a yellow drape, and a golden trident-topped staff leans at left beside a microphone on a stand. Probable Swamiji seated on the throne, identified by the saffron-brown robe, ornate gold garland and pendant, and long swept-back hair. The scene reads as a stage discourse setting with green plants at right.
