A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and red tilak sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in namaste. Long-haired? No; he has short hair.

A tall brass oil lamp stands at left, and a gold tray with flowers and fruit sits at the base of the throne. Strings of beads hang behind, with a microphone at right and orange floor cloth beneath.
