A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne-style chair with gilded carved relief panels behind him, speaking with one hand raised open. He wears a long strand of gold-beaded rudraksha-style mala around his neck and a red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair falling on his shoulders. A microphone stand is in front of him and pink flowers sit at the lower right of the frame, against a warm orange painted backdrop. Appearance-based a person seated as speaker at the inaugural discourse.
