He wears a rust-red robe and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap. Behind him stands a bronze Nataraja statue of dancing Shiva within a flame arch, and a red wall with a small microphone on the seat beside him. Heads of unseen listeners are visible at the bottom edge.

He has a white forehead band with a red vertical mark, long dark hair, a full beard, gold earrings, and gold bangles on his arms. Behind him stands a large orange-and-gold deity murti with a crown, gold necklace and armlets, and a green cloth at the waist, beside a wooden lattice wall. The seated figure shows distinctive adornments and long hair, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm the a person candidate, so he is described as a seated man in meditation before the deity murti.2017-10-15May 14 20172017-05-14A man with long dark hair and a short beard sits on an ornate silver throne with a red seat and carved armrests, hands folded in his lap.
