A shaved-headed man in white ritual dhoti and shawl with gold borders sits on a carved wooden chair, reading from an open book held in his lap. He wears a long gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, a bead bracelet, and a white tilak on his forehead. A microphone stands at his left. A second open book lies on a wooden stool below. Behind him is a blurred warm-toned interior. The pendant appears to carry a small portrait, but the man's appearance does not show distinctive a person cues such as long swept-back hair, a crown, saffron clothing or rudraksha malas, so his identity is uncertain.
