A man seated cross-legged on a silver-backed throne speaks into a microphone on a stage. He wears a leopard-print turban with a white crescent ornament, a rust-red dhoti-style garment with gold borders, a red-brown shawl draped over one shoulder, a long gold-bead necklace with a large gold pendant, rudraksha-style red armbands and a gold waist belt. A copper water vessel and small brass bowls sit on a striped multicoloured mat, and a silver chariot or palanquin with floral garlands is at right. Behind him are a red wooden structure and dark foliage. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair under a crown-like turban, ornate gold necklace and saffron-toned clothing, consistent with the page's reference to the Avatar seated for the Ask The Avatar session.
