Photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver-backed chair on a stage with red draperies, raising one index finger while speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a leopard-print turban with a crescent emblem, rust-orange robes, multiple rudraksha malas, bangles and a gold necklace, and has a tilak on his forehead. Beside him stands a small brass deity murti, a blue bucket and a metal pestle-and-mortar with flower petals and offerings. A silver throne decorated with white jasmine garlands sits to the right.
