A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a red velvet seat cushion, smiling broadly and gesturing with both hands raised before his chest. He wears a white dhoti-style cloth draped over his shoulder and a long necklace of gold beads, with a red bindi on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. Behind him hangs a deep blue draped curtain. The setting suggests a public satsang or discourse. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold beaded necklace and white ritual clothing on a throne, presented as the speaker of the satsang.
