A man seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with carved floral scrollwork, hands pressed together in namaste, smiling toward the camera. He wears a tall black cylindrical headpiece, white vertical tilak on the forehead, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces across a bare chest, a tiger-striped wrap at the waist, and a silver armband. A microphone stands near his chin. Flanking him are gold ceremonial fans or umbrellas with crescent and sun-disc motifs, a gilded deity statue with a crown on the left, marigold garlands in orange and white, a red and gold patterned backdrop, and a brass plate with a metal cup on a table below.
