A seated man on an ornate golden throne with red cushions on a festival stage. He wears an orange-red turban, an orange-saffron robe, a garland of white flowers and a brown shawl, and sits cross-legged with hands resting on his knees, a microphone on a stand before him. Behind the throne a large gold trident rises with a red-and-gold canopy, and a carved stone-look relief of a multi-armed seated deity with a crown, necklaces and bangles fills the left background. A gilded scrolled backdrop and red drapes frame the right side. A silver vessel and an orange upholstered chair sit at the left edge. The person's identity is not established by visible cues here, so the appearance label is uncertain.
