A seated man in a saffron-orange turban with a white forehead marking and red bindi sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads and red cushions, draped with a tiger-striped cloth. He wears an orange-and-yellow shawl over a bare chest, a heavy gold pendant on a beaded mala necklace, and holds his hands together in his lap. A microphone stands beside him, and a red thermos sits on the lower step of the dais, with dark red curtains behind.
