A seated man in a maroon-red turban with a gold crest and ornate gold ornaments sits on an ornate silver-and-white throne with lion-head armrests against a gold carved backdrop. He wears a maroon saffron-style shawl and dhoti with gold borders, a long gold necklace and a large gold pendant, and a red thread on his wrist. He smiles while speaking into a microphone on a stand. A small silver side table holds a cup. A silver staff with a serpent-head top leans beside the throne. Appearance and role cues suggest a person, seated on the throne and giving a discourse, though the setting is a discourse stage.
