A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne with carved floral and figurative detailing, draped in a leopard-print cushion. He wears a rust-brown turban, a rust-brown dhoti-style wrap with gold border, a gold chain necklace and a red thread on his wrist, with a red-orange bindi on his forehead. He smiles and gestures with his right hand while a black microphone on a stand is positioned in front of him. Beside him stand a silver ceremonial staff and silver lion-like carved armrest figures, with a red curtain behind. Appearance-based identification: a person, seated and speaking as a discourse teacher with the cues of a rust-brown turban, saffron-toned ceremonial wrap and gold necklace; the throne and microphone are visible in an archive setting.
