A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a deep red cushioned seat, in front of a large embossed golden backrest. He wears saffron-orange draped clothing with a gold-bordered shawl, a long gold ceremonial necklace with a gold pendant, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, a red tilak on his forehead and a beaded bracelet on his upper arm. His hands rest clasped in his lap and a black microphone on a flexible stand is near him. Orange and green tassel decorations hang at the top corners, and a woven bamboo mat forms the background. The photograph is a stage-style discourse setting.
