A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet back and cushion, wearing a red silk shawl draped over one shoulder and red dhoti-style wrap. He wears a gold pendant necklace and multiple beaded malas, with a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead and a red thread band on his upper arm. A microphone on a boom stands beside him. A gilded carved backdrop with a small deity panel sits behind the throne. Looks like a teaching setting, with the person seated in a position of honour.
