A seated figure in a rust-red turban with a small red bindi on the forehead wears a rust-orange shawl over a bare chest, a gold-and-bead necklace of large gold beads with a rudraksha-style mala, and a wireless headset microphone. The person sits on a gilded, ornate golden throne with red velvet cushions, one hand resting on a red-patterned cushion and the other open in a gesture while speaking. Behind them stands a brass oil lamp with white flowers and a purple flower, and a gold-toned decorated backdrop. Photo from a person Times daily magazine page.
