A seated man in red-maroon robes and a matching red turban sits cross-legged on a striped tiger-skin cushion before a green draped throne-like backdrop decorated with green leaf garlands. He wears a long double strand of gold beads and a rudraksha mala, a sacred bead necklace, with red beaded armbands and a tilak mark on his forehead, and he smiles while a small headset microphone is attached near his face. Behind him a large golden figure, golden deity statues and potted plants frame the stage. A red cloth lies beside him. Appearance-based identification is uncertain; a person cues include the rudraksha mala, ornate gold beads and saffron-toned robes seated on a throne, but the image does not confirm the identity.
