A bearded man in a rust-brown robe and matching turban sits on an ornate white-and-gold throne beneath a gilded parasol, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a heavy gold necklace, layered pink flower garlands, and gold bangles, with a tilak on his forehead. A silver trident leans to the left. Behind him is a painted backdrop of a rocky hill with temple gopurams, and a gilded deity figure with floral garlands stands at the right edge. Small brass oil lamps and flowers sit on the stage at the lower right. A seated figure in brown robes with a shaved head and golden earrings is a candidate for the speaker, but appearance cues are not conclusive.
