A smiling man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe sits at a wooden table with a microphone on a boom stand in front of him. He wears a tall twisted black hair bun, white ash lines on his forehead and a red dot at the centre, and a brown rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder. On the table are a clear plastic tray holding a small heap of rudraksha beads and loose paper sheets. Behind him stand a carved wooden pillar with gold-patterned bands, a brass lamp and a leopard-print cushioned seat. The appearance is consistent with a person, shown by the saffron robe, the tall hair bun and the rudraksha mala, seated and speaking at a microphone; the page places him at the event.
