A smiling man with a dark beard and a white and red forehead mark sits on an ornate silver-and-white throne with red cushions, holding up an orange book with a portrait cover and Tamil title. He wears a rust-orange robe, a pink and white flower garland, a brown beaded mala and gold necklaces, plus rudraksha armbands. Behind him stand gilded deity murti figures with crowns and jewelry, and a brass oil lamp stands at right. A microphone on a stand is in front of him, and green foliage decorates the stage.
