A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-like armrests and a dark red velvet cushion. He wears a magenta turban with a long fold falling at his side, a lime-green silk garment with a red and gold border, a red sash, a long rudraksha-style bead mala and a gold pendant necklace, gold bangles, and a red bindi. His hands rest open on his knees, and he smiles toward the audience. Behind the throne stand a large golden deity murti with an orange cloth draped above it and garlands of purple and white flowers. A microphone is visible near his face.
