He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a red-and-gold turban, long swept-back hair, and several beaded necklaces and rudraksha malas with gold pendants. His hands are raised in an explanatory gesture. A tall silver trident stands to the left, and a small silver-and-brass ritual stand with lamps sits at the right of the throne.

Audience members in saffron, pink, white and blue saris and kurtas fill the foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated speaker, in an appearance-based label from his saffron clothing, turban, malas and throne.
