A seated man speaks into a microphone on an ornate golden throne (peetha) decorated with rainbow bands of marigolds and flower garlands in red, yellow, green, purple and white, with a yellow floral backdrop. He wears a white dhoti with gold-bordered shawl, a long gold-beaded necklace and gold bangles, and holds up an open book with a woman's portrait on its cover. A brass oil lamp sits at the lower left edge and the throne's red tiger-striped cushions frame him. The man has long swept-back hair and smiles as he speaks.
