A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a large golden floral backrest against red drapery, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a gold crest, a rust-orange wrap draped over one shoulder and body, a thick gold necklace with a large pendant, a gold waist belt, gold bangles and an armlet, and a tilak mark on his forehead. His right hand is raised open in explanation while his left rests on the armrest. A steel tumbler and a small brass vessel sit on a side table at left, with a green plant at right. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-orange robes, ornate gold necklaces and a turban fit the Swamiji appearance cues.
