A man seated on an ornate golden throne with carved lion armrests and a brown leather seat, wearing a saffron-orange robe, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, a gold pendant and green beads, speaks into a headset microphone while raising one hand in a gesture. A small live cobra rests coiled over the armrest beside him. Behind him an audience sits in a dim hall, including a woman in the foreground with dark braided hair and a red bindi and a woman with a red-and-orange shawl. The figure has long swept-back dark hair and a tilak mark, with distinctive saffron clothing and rudraksha adornments; a person in a discourse setting, though appearance is only partly consistent. Audience members wear orange lanyards.
