Photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate velvet throne with gold lion-head armrests, in front of an elaborate embroidered gold-and-blue backdrop. He wears a rust-brown turban with a silver brooch, rust-brown robes, a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, and gold bangles. His hands are joined in anjali greeting while he smiles toward the audience. A microphone stands near him and a small wooden table holds a silver cup. Appearance-based a person cues: long dark hair under the turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha mala, seated on a throne in the style of a sannyasi host.
