A smiling bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits on a carved wooden throne-like chair with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a rust-brown robe, a pink and white flower garland, layered gold and beaded necklaces with a large gold pendant, beaded bracelets, and a white-and-red forehead mark. He rests one arm on the armrest and gestures toward a microphone on a stand. Behind him are wooden panels, hanging decorative cloth banners with elephant and floral motifs, brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style brass vessel, potted plants and a bowl of greenery. Appearance-based label: a person, seated and speaking as the teacher.
