A seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair sits in front of an ornate gilded throne with a carved arched back, flanked by golden lion figures and red tiger-striped cushions. He wears a saffron-orange garment draped over the shoulder and bare-chested, with a heavy gold rudraksha-style necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead. He sits with palms pressed together in namaste, with a small microphone near his mouth. Behind the throne stands a large wooden panelled door, and a painted deity figure with raised arms appears at the left edge. Appearance-based cues are distinctive (hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and gold adornment), so this is a person seated in person on the throne.
