A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like figures and elaborate repoussé gold filigree behind him. He wears a maroon turban with an orange band and a white crescent-and-trident emblem on the front, a small red tilak on his forehead, and a maroon-orange robe. Layered garlands of red and white flowers hang around his neck, along with heavy gold necklaces and gold bangles on his wrists. He smiles while wearing a small microphone clipped near his face.
