A man seated on an ornate cream and gold brocade throne-style armchair with carved wooden armrests, in front of dark maroon velvet drapes. He wears a peach-colored silk dhoti and wrap with yellow-gold borders, a large gold bead necklace, and a red tilak on his forehead, with bare shoulders and chest. Orange cloth covers the armrests where his hands rest. A microphone on a flexible stand sits beside him, a white side table holds a water bottle and papers, and a vase of red flowers stands at left. Appearance-based a person cues include the saffron-toned ceremonial dress, gold necklace and throne seating, so this is a person seated in a discourse setting.
