A man seated on a red velvet throne with an ornate gold repoussé backrest, draped over a tiger-striped cloth. He wears an orange-saffron cloth wrap with gold trim, a long gold bead mala across his chest, a gold necklace, and gold earrings. A white vertical tilak and red bindi mark his forehead, and a small headset microphone is on his cheek. He holds a silver ceremonial staff in one hand while gesturing with the other during a talk.
