A seated figure on a red and silver throne faces a crowd, raising both palms together in a namaste gesture toward a large round metal gong or bell. He has long dark dreadlocked hair falling to his lap, white forehead markings, and wears a red-maroon robe draped over one shoulder with a gold armband and beaded bracelet. Behind him stands a silver ceremonial staff. The audience sits in rows: women in white and saffron garments, some with red and white shawls, a few with white headbands and forehead markings, and older and younger men in the background. A pink banner with stylised script hangs on the wall behind the stage. The figure matches the a person cues of long dreadlocks, red robe and ornate gold adornments, but the identification rests on appearance alone.
