A seated man speaks into a microphone on a red-upholstered throne with white-and-gold carved frame, in front of deep red drapes garlanded with pink, orange and yellow flowers. He wears a rust-red turban with an orange plume and jewelled ornament, gold earrings, multiple gold necklaces including a large gold temple-shaped pendant, rust-red robes, and gold bangles on his upper arms and wrists. He smiles with both palms raised and open toward the audience during a discourse. Swamiji (probable): his long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, jewelled turban and saffron-orange clothing are consistent with the page's identification; appearance is the basis of this label. The room has hanging chains and flower garlands along the frame.
