A seated man in a rust-red dhoti-style cloth with gold border sits before an ornate gold-carved arched backdrop, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. He wears a leopard-print headband over long dreadlocked hair, a gold necklace, a large gold pendant, a rudraksha-style bead mala and a red sacred thread on his wrist, with a white shawl draped behind him. Beside him stands a silver throne decorated with white flower garlands, and in front are brass pots, a small brass figurine holding a lamp, bowls of grains and flowers, and a microphone on a stand. This is a stage-style ceremonial setting with a ritual arrangement of offerings before the speaker.
