A smiling man sits on an ornate gilded throne with leopard-print cushioned armrests, a golden lion figure at his side. He wears a deep rust-red turban decorated with a crescent ornament and jewelled brooch, a rust-red wrap over the body and waist, and beaded red-and-gold bracelets on his arms and wrists. A microphone on a stand is in front of him, and gold carved panels frame the background. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, a turban and a rust-red wrap; a ceremonial seat and a microphone indicate a discourse setting.
