January 02 20102010-01-02A man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, palm fronds and flowers. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a white and red flower garland, and a red rudraksha-style mala around his neck. Behind him, a figure in white with a yellow sash stands on red stone steps lined with clay pots. A black speaker stands on the steps to the left.
