A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, smiling and speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears saffron-orange robes, a white-and-red garland of flowers, layered gold ceremonial necklaces, a rudraksha mala, gold arm bands and bangles, and has long hair swept back with a tilak on his forehead and a red bindi. Beside him a tall golden staff topped with a golden kalasha-like finial and a golden trident rest against the throne, with a white cup on the lower left. The background shows red drapery and a warm, festive stage setting. Appearance-based label: a person, seated as the speaker at a discourse.
