A man sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with red tiger-striped cushions and gilded lion armrests, in front of a backdrop of bamboo poles. He wears a rust-orange turban with a silver crest, a red bindi, a sandalwood-coloured shawl draped over one shoulder, and a long multi-strand garland of gold-toned beads. He holds his hands open and smiles toward the audience, wearing a headset microphone. A silver trident with a red gem stands beside the throne, and a gilded cobra-form staff rests at right.
