A seated man in a rust-red turban with a gold jewelled ornament and a red tilak mark sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved lion figures, eyes closed and smiling. He wears a rust-red shawl with gold border, a heavy gold bead necklace, a gold pendant, a gold waist belt, and a red thread on his wrist. He holds a tall silver staff topped with a seated figure and a bell. A microphone stands before him against a gold-carved backdrop, and a silver side table with a red cup sits to the left, over a patterned red carpet. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long hair, a jewelled turban, saffron-toned clothing and gold ornaments, and is seated as a speaker on the dais.
