A seated man in flowing saffron-orange robes over a red undershirt smiles broadly while speaking into a microphone. He rests his left hand near his chin and holds a tall silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. A red dot is on his forehead. Behind him, a framed photograph shows a figure beside large gnarled banyan roots, and a red, yellow and blue patterned cloth with white floral motifs and blue elephant and bird designs hangs as backdrop. Orange cushions surround him.

A smiling man in orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushioned seat before a microphone on a stand. He wears a red bindi, a red undershirt and an orange shawl draped over one shoulder, and he raises a silver trident with a red stone in his left hand while touching his hair with his right. Behind him hangs a red, blue and yellow patterned cloth with bird and elephant motifs, and a framed photograph shows a bearded figure seated among large twisting tree roots.
