A seated man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl addresses an audience from a carved wooden chair on a stage. He wears long black hair swept back, a large rudraksha mala with a multi-strand necklace, bangles and armbands, and a red tilak on his forehead. A silver trident stands beside a dark ceramic pot with drips of gold glaze, and a microphone on a stand is in front of him. Behind him hangs a bronze-toned relief of Nataraja dancing within an arch of flames, flanked by peacock-feather motifs and carved panels. a person cues include the flowing hair and rudraksha malas, but the image does not establish identity with certainty.
