A smiling man with long dark hair, a white and red tilak and a full beard sits on an ornate silver-and-white throne in a rust-brown robe and rudraksha mala with gold beads, a pink-and-white flower garland around his neck. He holds up an orange-covered book toward the camera, a microphone stands beside him, and a green cloth and leafy plants frame the stage. Behind him, gilded deity murti figures in crowns and jewellery stand before an orange lattice wall with brass lamps. The image is a photograph of an in-person stage event; the figure is an appearance-based a person by his flowing hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces.
