A seated man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet cushion and a gold lion-head armrest, under a gold canopy with hanging leaf-shaped ornaments. He holds a small white card in both hands and looks down at it while speaking into a black microphone on a stand. A red-brown tilak mark is visible on his forehead. Behind him hang blue draped curtains. To the left stands an arrangement of white chrysanthemums, blue hydrangeas, red amaranthus and fern fronds, with a peacock feather and two water bottles nearby. Gold ritual vessels and a small gold figure sit at the base of the throne.
