A man with long swept-back dark hair, a sandalwood tilak on his forehead, and a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders sits on a red and gold ornate throne. He wears an orange-saffron cloth over his body and holds a large handful of yellow food over a silver bowl heaped with the same yellow food. A microphone stands in front of him. Behind him, a person in white with a hairnet works near steel vessels on a wooden counter. The setting appears to be an indoor ashram hall with dark wood panelling and a golden canopy.
