A smiling man with voluminous black hair and a red tilak sits cross-legged on a carved wooden throne-like chair on a stage. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a long ceremonial gold necklace, with a patterned black-and-gold waist sash. A silver trident stands to his left beside a small table holding a white teacup and a water bottle. A microphone on a stand is in front of him. Behind him hangs a large carved golden relief of Nataraja, the dancing Shiva, with peacock motifs on the side panels and a cream drape behind.
