A bearded man in a maroon-red sannyasi wrap and dhoti sits on a white ornate throne-style chair on a stage, hands clasped in his lap, with a stack of rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, a gold chain at the neck, and a leopard-print patterned turban with a long dark braid. A stand microphone is in front of him. Behind him stands a large orange deity murti with multiple arms. In the foreground are a small silver figure, a stone mortar and a brass ritual object, with a Hindu ritual setting. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on the peetha and placed in front of a deity murti.
