A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with a carved arched back and golden lion-head armrests draped in red tiger-striped cushions. He wears an orange-red sannyasi robe with a gold-bordered dhoti, a long beaded rudraksha mala and a silver ceremonial necklace, with white vertical tilak and a red bindi on his forehead, and a small lapel microphone. Leopard-print fabric lies on the dais. Painted standing deity murti flank the throne on both sides, one holding a flame, one raising a hand. Appearance-based label: a person, shown in person, seated and speaking to an audience.
