A smiling man stands barefoot on a red carpet holding a corded handheld microphone, speaking to an audience. He wears a maroon-red cap with a gold band and small gold emblem, a red-brown dhoti and shawl edged with gold stripes, a red bindi, a long rudraksha mala, and gold bangles on his arms. Behind him stands a red and gold throne with golden lion-head armrests and red patterned cushions. Painted deity figures with gold crowns and ornaments flank the throne, and a brass oil lamp stands at the right. The scene is a stage set in a temple-style hall.
