A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, smiling, in front of a microphone. He wears a white cloth wrap over his shoulders and white dhoti, a rudraksha mala with multiple strands around his neck, and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him a large backdrop shows painted temple pillars and a standing figure in red, white and blue draped garments with garlands. Gold lamps stand on the sides, and a golden stool-style pedestal sits at the lower corners. The seated man's appearance shows a rudraksha mala and a white wrap, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm a specific identity, so he is described only by role as a seated speaker.
