A smiling bearded man sits on an ornate silver throne with carved floral backrest, wearing a leopard-print turban with a crescent ornament and a vertical kumkum mark on his forehead. He is dressed in a rust-orange dhoti and wrap with gold border, with a heavy gold chain and a large gold pendant, plus rust-red armbands and beaded bracelet. A microphone on a stand is near his head. Silver ritual vessels and a silver deity or peetha-style ornament sit to the right, and a copper water bottle rests at the lower left against dark foliage. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in the speaker's role.
