A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate cream upholstered throne with gilt carved wooden arms, in front of a dark red velvet curtain and a microphone on a flexible stand. He wears a sky-blue draped garment, a gold bead necklace of large ceremonial beads, and a red bindi on his forehead; his hair is swept back. He holds up an orange cloth in one hand while smiling, and a second orange cloth lies over the right armrest. A vase of pink, red and white flowers and a water bottle stand on a side table at left. The appearance of this seated figure is consistent with the a person cues of saffron-coloured cloth, ornate gold necklace and throne presence, so the seated speaker may be the a person.
