A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-carved throne draped with a leopard-print cloth, in front of gold brocade curtains. He wears an orange-saffron cloth over his shoulder and torso, a leopard-patterned waist cloth, a thick gold bead garland and a red sandalwood bindi, and holds a silver trident in his raised left hand while looking upward. A small vase of red flowers stands at left, and a headset microphone is visible near his face. Dress and posture are consistent with the saffron-clad, trident-bearing presentation of a guru-like figure, and the figure's appearance is consistent with the a person presentation, so the identification is probable.
