A smiling man in a rust-orange turban and rust-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered with leopard-print cushions. He wears a long pink-and-white flower garland, multiple gold chains, a large gold pendant, and gold armlets and bangles. A microphone on a stand is in front of him. Behind him hangs a green silk backdrop framed with marigold, yellow and purple flower garlands. A small framed portrait sits at the lower left of the frame. The sitter's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate in these archive photographs (distinctive turban, gold adornments and ceremonial garlands, seated on a throne), so this is a probable in-person presence of a person during a discourse.
