A seated man in a maroon-red turban with a silver ornament and gold brooch sits before an elaborate gold-leaf throne with carved peacock-like motifs. He wears a maroon robe, a pink-and-white flower garland, a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant, beaded red-and-gold armbands, and a red-brown tilak on his forehead. He speaks into a dark microphone on a stand, and his left hand rests on a leopard-print cushion beside a small white cup on a wooden stool. Accordingly this is an appearance-based probable candidate seated in person during a discourse, with the speaker's ornate throne and garland marking a formal teaching setting.
