A man seated on a red velvet throne with a golden carved backrest and a golden lion figure beside him, draped in a saffron-orange cloth with gold-bordered edge. He wears a heavy necklace of large gold beads with a twisted gold chain, a small gold earring, and a white forehead marking with a red bindi, and holds a silver ceremonial vessel in one hand while speaking into a headset microphone. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat edge and a deep maroon curtain fills the background. A bare-footed seated speaker in ceremonial dress addresses a gathering, with ornamented ritual objects around him.
