A seated man in an orange saffron dhoti and a leopard-print open jacket sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet back and a gold canopy with hanging leaf-shaped ornaments overhead. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a gold necklace over the jacket, and he smiles while looking to his left. Beside the throne is a monitor and a draped table, with a thatched bamboo ceiling and a black-and-white photograph of banyan tree roots behind him. A throne, canopy and attendant setting suggest a formal seated address, though the visible cues alone do not confirm who he is.
