A seated man in a rust-orange robe speaks into a microphone on a stand, hands raised with palms open at chest level. He wears a white tilak on his forehead, a beaded belt with a central ornament, and red-orange beaded bangles. Behind him a large gilded throne with carved lion-like figures and ornate golden scrollwork fills the frame, and gilded lion heads flank the seat, which is covered in leopard-print cushions with red edging. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the following appearance cues: long swept-back hair, an orange robe, ornate beaded adornments and a ceremonial throne. He is giving a discourse seated on the throne.
