A seated man speaks into a microphone on a gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, white jasmine and green foliage, with a blue drape behind. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a saffron/orange sannyasi-style robe with embroidered border, and layered gold beaded necklaces. His hands rest clasped in his lap. At left, a brass oil lamp with a flame stands beside the throne. The man is identified as Swamiji (probable) from the distinctive long hair, saffron robe and ornate gold necklaces on a decorated throne.
