A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved, gilded backrest, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders and a long strand of gold beads, with a red bindi on his forehead and long, swept-back dark hair. His hands are raised in front of his chest in a teaching gesture. Dark blue drapes hang behind the throne, and a gold-carved armrest and lion-form base frame the scene. Appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, gold beads, throne) are consistent with a person, the page marks him present, so this is a probable in-person identification.
