A man seated on a red velvet throne-style chair gestures with his right hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-brown turban decorated with gold ornaments and a yellow-tipped feather, a rust-brown shawl over his bare shoulders, heavy gold necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him hang red and white flower garlands beside a carved golden pillar and a dark red curtain. Swamiji (probable) appears in person here: the saffron-toned ornate clothing, long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and crowned turban match the cues given for identification, and he is seated in a discourse setting.
