A smiling man wearing an orange turban with gold trim and an orange shawl over gold-toned robes sits on a maroon cushion before ornate gold carved panels. He wears a red bindi and white forehead markings, a small clip-on microphone near his cheek, and thick garlands of green leaves with yellow, purple, white and red flowers draped over his shoulders, with a gold bracelet on his wrist.
