A smiling man stands on a stage with both hands raised above his head in an arms-up gesture. He wears an ornate red and gold turban with a peacock-feather ornament, a red and gold patterned shawl draped over his shoulders and chest, and a saffron-orange dhoti with a white and gold-bordered drape at the waist. Beaded bangles circle his wrists and upper arms, and a red bindi marks his forehead. Behind him is a dark curtain, a pale wall and a large painted orange disc-shaped prop with black dots at the right edge.
