A smiling man with voluminous swept-back black hair and a yellow-and-red forehead mark sits cross-legged on an ornately carved wooden chair on a stage, speaking into a microphone. He wears a saffron-orange garment with gold border, a thick rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, a green bead necklace and a gold pendant, a leopard-print waist cloth, and beaded arm bands. A silver trident stands at left beside a glazed ceramic pot and a red thermos.
