A seated man in saffron-yellow robes and a yellow turban sits cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation on an ornate golden throne. The throne is framed by a large arch of multicoloured garlands in yellow, purple, red and white flowers, with red cushions at the base. A gold multi-strand necklace with ornate pendant hangs on his chest, and a red bindi marks his forehead. A lit oil lamp stands to the right and a microphone sits at the lower right. Draped fabric and a golden canopy hang above. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron robes, a turban and ornate gold necklace fit the appearance cues of a seated sannyasi-teacher, presented on a throne.
