A seated man in a rust-red turban and matching red-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and a large gold back panel, upholstered in red cushions with a dark zebra-stripe pattern. He wears a thick necklace of red beads, gold-edged ceremonial garlands, a rudraksha mala, a gold pendant and gold bangles, with a tilak on his forehead. He smiles and gestures toward a microphone on a stand at the right, with a dark red curtain behind him. One physical person is present.
