A smiling bearded man with long braided hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-red sannyasi robe draped over his shoulders, a gold necklace, and a red bindi with white markings on his forehead. Beside the throne is a small wooden table holding a steel cup. A carved gold backdrop with a painted deity figure and red curtains frame the stage, and green plants sit at the edges. The appearance-based label a person applies from the distinctive ceremonial red robe, long braids and gold necklace, with the figure seated in discourse.
