A close photograph of a man seated before a microphone on a red velvet throne with gold filigree behind him, speaking and raising his right hand in a gesture of address. He wears a rust-red turban decorated with a silver crescent, a jewelled brooch and a yellow-tipped feather, a red-brown dhoti-style garment, gold and multi-strand beaded necklaces, and orange beaded bracelets. He has a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair visible at the shoulder. Two people appear in the scene in total, one partially seen at the frame edge, but only the main speaker is prominent.
