A man seated on a silver ornate throne-like chair beside a tall gold ceremonial staff, raising his right index finger as he speaks, with a smiling expression. He wears a brown woven shawl over his bare upper body, many dark rudraksha malas, a large gold pendant necklace, a rudraksha bracelet on each arm, and white sacred ash markings on the forehead, neck and arms, with a red-brown tilak on the forehead. Behind him is a magenta and purple backdrop.
