A seated man in a maroon-brown robe sits cross-legged on a velvet-covered throne framed by a large arch of red, yellow, purple and white flower garlands. He wears a heavy gold necklace with a pendant, a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, gold armbands and bangles, and a gold ring; a red kumkum dot marks his forehead and a small microphone is clipped near his face. Gold lion-head armrests flank the throne, a tiger-skin cloth lies beneath, and small oil lamps glow in the background. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on the throne at a discourse.
