A smiling man with long dark hair, a full beard, a white tilak with a red bindi, and gold ornaments sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests. He wears a rust-red robe, a gold necklace and heavy gold chain, a pink and white flower garland, and beaded bracelets. A microphone stand is in front of him, and a small framed photograph sits on a wooden stand beside him. Red drapes and gold ritual vessels are behind him. This is a photograph from a discourse setting.
