A seated man with long, swept-back black hair, a red bindi and a yellow-ochre tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange-red and saffron garment with a saffron sash, layered rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, speaks into a headset microphone from an ornate gold-and-brown leather throne with carved lion-head armrests. A tall silver trident stands to his left. Behind him, an audience sits in a dark hall, with several people in saffron and purple clothing visible.
