A man with long dark hair and a red-brown robe with a gold ornamental pendant on a beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gold lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone while gesturing with one hand. Beside him a bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a sacred thread and white body markings holds a silver tray. Behind them are garlands of red, orange and yellow flowers and a gold-framed carved backdrop.
