A man with long dark hair, a full black beard and a red tilak on his forehead sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion behind him. He wears an orange-red shawl over bare shoulders, layered rudraksha malas and a heavy gold necklace, and his hands rest together in his lap. A microphone stand is angled in front of him, and green leaves and a gilded decorative backdrop surround the stage. Whether this is the a person depicted in the archive cannot be confirmed from appearance alone; the figure is presented here as a seated speaker on a throne at a stage event.
