A seated Tamil Shaivite religious leader speaks into a microphone on an ornate throne, its back covered in gold repoussé work with a standing figure and decorated arch. He wears a jewelled gold crown, a white vibhuti line with a red kumkum dot on the forehead, and an orange ochre cloth. He is adorned with a long white jasmine garland interspersed with red flowers and yellow citrus fruits, a heavy rudraksha mala, gold chain pendants, a gold necklace, bangles and rings. Jasmine petals cover his lap and the throne cushions, which are deep maroon velvet. A silver staff stands at the left edge. No other people are visible.
