A photograph of a man seated on an ornate red velvet throne with a gold-carved back, eyes closed and smiling broadly, speaking into a microphone on a thin stand at right. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with a yellow feather, a jewelled ornament and a crescent motif, a red tilak on his forehead, a rust-orange wrap draped over a bare chest and arms, a heavy gold bead necklace and a gold chain, and gold armlets. A white ceremonial staff with silver fittings rests beside the throne, and a copper vessel sits at lower left. Red drapes fill the background.
