A bearded man seated cross-legged on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold lotus-petal backrest, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a maroon-red turban with a crescent ornament, a rust-brown robe, layered gold necklaces, a pink and white flower garland, and gold armbands. Behind him are golden carved temple panels with deity relief figures and a gold staff at the left edge. A small wooden table holds a box in front of him. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated and speaking as the teacher in the sanctum-style setting; the throne and garlands mark him as the central speaker.
