A seated figure in an ornate brown leather throne with carved wooden armrests sits centrally, one finger raised to lips in a gesture of silence, wearing a black cap-like headpiece, a red-orange cloth draped over the body, a multi-strand beaded mala with gold-coloured pendants, and a bracelet. A banner behind reads an English heading with orange text. Around him, a large seated audience in white and orange-saffron clothing, some wearing orange scarves and lanyards, fills the hall, and a ceremonial staff with a silver top stands at left.
