A man seated before a large ornate golden peacock-fan backrest on a red cushioned throne, speaking into a microphone while raising his right hand in a mudra and holding a small printed paper in his left. He wears a rust-red turban with a green feather and gold jewelled ornaments, a rust-red robe with a gold border, multiple long gold beaded necklaces and a large gold pendant, gold bangles and armlets. A brass lamp and wooden implements sit at the left edge. The photograph carries an archive copyright credit on the lower right.
