A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits in lotus posture on a red velvet throne with ornate gold repoussé backing, with a tiger-striped skin draped over the seat. He presses his palms together in anjali namaskar at chest level, wears a white vibhuti band with a red kumkum dot on his forehead, gold earrings, multi-strand rudraksha malas, gold bead necklaces and white-beaded armlets. A small lapel microphone is visible near his face. Golden oil lamps glow in the background. The appearance matches the a person cues of ornate saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a gold throne, and the page flags him as present, so he is presented as the seated speaker in person.
