A seated man speaks into a microphone on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gilded arms and a red velvet cushion. He wears a rust-brown turban with a silver brooch and a gold ornament, a brown-red shawl and cloth, a long pink lotus garland, a rudraksha mala on his arm, and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. A small wooden stool beside him holds a white mug printed with a portrait. Behind him are a maroon curtain and carved stone panels with an animal relief.
