A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a plush red cushioned back raises his right hand in a blessing gesture while speaking into a microphone on a curved stand. He wears a rust-red turban decorated with gold jewelled ornaments, a red-brown robe, layered rudraksha malas, a gold pendant and a white flower garland with red blossoms. A red tilak marks his forehead and red-and-gold bangles are on his wrist. One person is visible.
