A photograph of a seated speaker on a stage before a large golden-brown relief sculpture of a multi-armed deity in lotus pose, holding a trident-like staff and a drum-like object, flanked by carved sages with raised hands and lions. The seated man wears red-orange robes, a leopard-print waist sash, long rudraksha malas, a gold pendant necklace, a red forehead mark, and sits on a tiger-skin cushion with a red pillow before a microphone stand. A silver trident stands at left and a brass kalasha-style lamp sits at the lower left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the stage, speaking into a microphone. One physical person is visible.
