A smiling bearded man with long dark hair and a white tripundra with red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne-like chair with a carved gold backrest, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-red robe, a thick gold necklace with a pendant, layered pink and white flower garlands, gold armbands and bangles. A small gold stand holds a white cup. Behind him are gold lion-form carvings and colourful fabric tassels in red, green and blue. The page excerpt describes a discourse at a convention, but the photo itself shows only the seated speaker at the throne.
