Close photograph of a bearded man in a tall dark turban-like head covering with a white vertical tilaka mark on the forehead, wearing a saffron-red shawl with red beaded edging and a gold chain necklace. He raises his right hand in a mudra-like gesture while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him is an ornate silver-and-gold repoussé backdrop with swirling floral patterns. A red thread bracelet is visible on his wrist.
