A photograph of a smiling man seated in a large brown leather armchair with carved wooden armrests and a high tufted back, at what appears to be a large indoor hall. He wears a dark-maroon-brown robe with gold trim, a dense multi-strand rudraksha mala, a green bead necklace with a gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a small red bindi on his forehead; a clip-on microphone is attached near his face, and he holds a copper cup in one hand. Hair is styled upward in a dark bun or topknot. Seated audience members and a standing man in a checked shirt are blurred in the foreground and background. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on a throne-style chair with rudraksha mala, robe and gold ornaments.
