A seated man in a saffron-red robe and a brown beaded mala sits on an ornate gold-trimmed brown leather throne with carved lion arms, smiling and gesturing with one hand toward a microphone on a stand. Behind him a large red painted deity figure with many arms and a crescent-topped headdress fills a maroon curtained backdrop. A silver trident stands to his left beside a brass kalasha-style vessel on an orange-draped table, with potted plants flanking the stage. The person's identity is not established from appearance alone, so the role is given as a seated speaker on stage.
