A smiling man in a red-and-purple turban with a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet back. He wears an orange-red saffron-style wrap with teal-edged borders and a heavy gold bead necklace, and a small lapel microphone is clipped to his robe. He raises his right hand in a wave while his left hand rests on a golden staff. Gilded lion figures flank the throne, and a backdrop with a large tree trunk completes the scene. Appearance-based label: a person, in a seated teaching setting.
