A man with long dark hair and a short beard sits smiling on a pale teal upholstered seat decorated with floral motifs, set beneath a canopy whose pillars are wrapped in white flower garlands accented with red and green blossoms. He wears a rust-orange shawl draped over his bare shoulders, a red thread on his wrist, and a red tilak on his forehead, and he leans on the chair arm while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Red cloth and a brass vessel rest in the foreground near heads of seated listeners at the bottom edge. A gilded ceremonial staff stands at left. Appearance-based cues: long hair, orange shawl and garland-decorated seat; a person seated as speaker, with listeners in front.
