A man with swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate golden throne with a tan leather seat, carved gold lion-head armrests, and a rust-coloured cloth draped over the back. He wears a long multi-strand rudraksha mala of brown beads, a green bead necklace, a gold chain and a salmon-pink shawl over a leopard-print garment, with a tilak on his forehead. A blurred audience of several dozen people sits behind him in the hall, and a silver ceremonial staff is visible at the left edge.
