A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne in a temple-style hall. The figure wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered edge, a long rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, gold bangles, and a tall dark hair bun wrapped with rudraksha beads, with a red bindi and white markings on the forehead. The eyes are closed and the face is smiling. Hands are folded in the lap, and bare feet rest on a striped tiger-skin cloth. The throne has golden lion figures on each side, carved golden makara-like arches behind, and red cushioned armrests with tiger-print upholstery. A microphone stands in front.
