A seated man in a large red-upholstered white-and-gold throne with carved ends and a carved white snake-and-bull finial is speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a leopard-print turban with a gold crescent ornament, a red bindi and white tilak, long gold necklaces and a gold waist belt, with a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl and gold bangles. Behind him are red drapes and garlands of yellow, pink and green flowers. Appearance cues include the long swept-back hair, crescent crown and gold ornaments, though identity remains uncertain; the person is described by role as a seated speaker.
