A man with long swept-back black hair and a crescent moon ornament sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne against an orange sunset backdrop with mountains. He has white forehead markings with a red dot, wears multiple gold necklaces, layered rudraksha malas, a red thread on his wrist, and a brown dhoti, and raises one hand in a mudra while a lapel microphone is clipped near him.
