A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-leafed throne with a red velvet back and cushion, under a gold canopy with hanging leaf finials, on a stage. He wears an orange saffron robe draped over bare shoulders, a gold bead garland, and has a white tilak on his forehead and hair swept back; he gestures with his hands while speaking. A red-and-gold footstool sits before the throne, a microphone stand stands at right, a vase of flowers and a water bottle sit on a wooden lectern-like table, and a backdrop reads partial lettering. a person: the orange robe, gold garland and sweptback hair are consistent cues for the presiding speaker on the throne.
