A man with long dark hair, a white forehead line and a vertical red-brown mark sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a tiger-striped cloth. He wears a rust-orange wrap over his bare shoulders and a long rudraksha mala with gold beads, smiling toward a microphone on a stand. A small gold ceremonial object sits in the foreground, with red drapes behind the throne. Several cues here are distinctive: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, and the figure is seated on a throne. a person is in the scene as the discourse speaker, matching the page's account of a 2017 discourse.
