A smiling man with long dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate golden throne with brown leather cushions and carved lion-head armrests. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, a red bindi, a long rudraksha mala and a gold ring, and he rests one finger against his cheek while a small headset microphone is attached. A tall gold ceremonial staff stands at the right edge. Seated audience members in white and light clothing fill the foreground and background, with a pale draped backdrop behind.
