A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gilt scrollwork and red cushions, smiling and looking to his right. He wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl, multiple strands of rudraksha-style beads, a pendant necklace, armlets, a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, and a small microphone clipped near his face. A tiered bouquet of orange, red and yellow flowers sits on a side table, and a pink-and-white backdrop with dark cog-like shapes fills the background. The image is credited to the archive. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on the throne in the centre of the frame.
