A seated man in an ornate gold throne with a carved golden arch behind him, wearing a rust-red turban, a red-orange wrap over one shoulder, a rust-red dhoti with a gold border, and a long golden garland of beads around his neck. He has a vertical red tilak and white marks on his forehead and sits cross-legged on a red zebra-striped cushioned seat with bare feet, gold bangles on his upper arms, and a small microphone clipped near his face. Behind him is a pale ornamental backdrop with a traditional kolam-style pattern. A printed archive caption on the image is not read here. Only one person is physically present.
