December 22 20102010-12-22A man with long swept-back dark hair sits on a throne-like seat covered in red cushions and framed by a garland of yellow, white and purple flowers. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a gold-coloured necklace of beads, a gold armlet, and a red tilak on his forehead, and he is bare-chested. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands beside him, and a red cloth drapes the left side of the seat. In front, a white table holds a tray of purple flowers and a pile of peaches, with a microphone.
