A man with long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests, upholstered in red with a tiger-striped pattern. He wears a saffron-orange garment draped over one shoulder, a double-strand ceremonial gold and bead necklace, and beaded bracelets on his wrist and upper arm. He holds a small grey microphone-like object and a white cord, smiling and speaking, with a headset microphone at his cheek. Behind him, a painted figure with multiple raised arms and a staff suggests a deity murti in bright orange and red. Appearance-based identification as a person, seated in a seat of honour during a stage event.
