A photograph of a single man seated in front of a dark blue curtain beside an ornate gold throne-like chair with fan-shaped gold carving. He wears an orange-saffron garment draped over his shoulders and upper body, has long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead. He looks down reading loose printed pages held in both hands, and a microphone on a stand is visible at right.
