A seated man speaks into a microphone on a stand while holding an open book with a woman's portrait on its cover. He wears a white and gold-bordered dhoti-style garment, a long gold necklace, a red tilak on his forehead and gold bangles. He sits on a red and gold-patterned cushioned throne framed by a large golden backrest, decorated with bands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers and a fringed white canopy. A small lamp flame is visible at the lower right. The scene appears to be an outdoor stage setting with a seated speaker addressing an audience.
