A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne backed by a broad arc of marigold, rose and chrysanthemum garlands in yellow, red, green, purple and white. He wears a cream and gold-bordered white garment and multiple heavy gold necklaces, with a gold pendant at the centre. His eyes are closed and he smiles while raising both palms outward in a gesture of blessing, with a microphone on a stand before him. A silver-toned plate and a small oil lamp sit at the lower edge of the frame, and red zebra-striped cushions surround the throne. Appearance-based label: a person, seated and speaking as the central figure of a discourse, with long hair, gold ornaments and a throne as qualifying cues.
