A man with a full dark beard and a red-and-vermilion tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-headed armrests, eyes closed and smiling. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style robe, a brown rudraksha mala, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, and a long garland of white and pink flowers with red roses. He holds a small blue cup in his right hand. Behind him is a richly decorated backdrop of embroidered navy, green and gold panels studded with sequins, jewels and pearl strings. A microphone stands at the right edge.
