A smiling man with swept-back dark hair and a red bindi stands before a deep red velvet curtain, beside an ornate cream upholstered chair. He wears a violet silk garment with red and gold borders, a yellow and green striped sash at the waist, and a red shawl over one shoulder, with a double strand of amber-coloured beads and gold ornaments around his neck. His hands are pressed together in front of his chest, holding a folded white paper. An orange towel hangs over the chair arm and a water bottle sits on a table at right. Whether this is a person is uncertain from appearance alone; the person is described by role as a devotee-style speaker in traditional dress.
