A seated figure in saffron-orange robes reads an open booklet, holding it in both hands above the lap. A microphone stand with a microphone arm is at left, and a gold-coloured ornate chair or throne with a scalloped back is behind. Bright daylight washes out the background. Only the lower face and head are cropped at the top of the frame. The page indicates a Bidadi homa and tharpanam session in Anandasabha, but the visible scene shows only a reader at a microphone.
