A man with swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged on a carved wooden throne with a leopard-print cushion, speaking and smiling. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulders and orange cloth wrapped around his body, with a long rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace. Gold armbands and bangles adorn his arms. Behind him stand large ornately carved reddish-brown stone panels with floral scrollwork and a silver trident leaning at left, and a latticed doorway with lit lamps at right. A water bottle sits on the red stage floor. The distinctive saffron clothing, long swept hair and rudraksha and gold adornments suggest a person seated as speaker, appearing in person.
