A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold-and-cream carved throne, dressed in a rust-brown wrap with a gold chain at his neck, holding a microphone and speaking while a small tray of food rests on a low table beside him. In front of him, seated devotees including a girl with a long braid in a yellow-and-purple outfit listen closely. Behind the throne stands a bronze Nataraja statue framed by a red wall and a sculpted arch, with a leopard-print cloth and a red shawl on the left.
