December 22 20102010-12-22Close-up photograph of a man speaking into a black handheld microphone held in his right hand, which wears a tan fingerless glove. He has a red bindi on his forehead, a long dark swept-back hairstyle, and wears heavy ornate gold beaded necklaces over a bare upper body with a red cloth draped over one shoulder. A blurred gold ceremonial object and orange and red flowers appear behind him against a bright sky.
