A smiling man with short dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on a leopard-print cushion beside an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and red cushions. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with yellow-gold borders, a gold chain, and a red-and-blue beaded wrist band, and raises one palm in a blessing gesture. Behind him is a backdrop of red flags and painted figures in red and gold. Appearance cues include the orange-and-gold ceremonial clothing and a seated-throne setting, but the visible cues are not distinctive enough for a confident identification, so the figure is described by role as a seated speaker giving blessings.
