A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved golden scrollwork, speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears a dark red-brown turban with gold stripes and a crescent-moon ornament, a matching red-brown shawl over the shoulders, multiple long gold chains and a large gold pendant, and rudraksha beads on his arms. He gestures with one open hand, and a tall ceremonial staff stands beside the throne. Behind him are gilded carved panels with a sculpted deity figure.
