A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-carved throne with deep red velvet cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand at his right. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, a heavy gold bead mala with a gold pendant, and a thin gold chain. A red kumkum dot and white vibhuti mark appear on his forehead. His right hand is raised in an explanatory gesture while his left hand rests on his knee. Gold lion-form armrests flank the throne, and behind him are gold-toned temple pillars. Cues on this figure are consistent with the page's reference to a person, with saffron robes, a gold mala and a throne, though the face is not used for identification.
