A man in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-orange head cloth sits before a microphone on a stand, gesturing with both hands, one raised with fingers spread and the other open palm up. He wears a gold chain necklace, beaded bracelets, round glasses and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him hang deep red velvet curtains, a white table skirted with a fringed cloth, a white electric fan and a digital clock, with yellow and pink flowers at right. Blurred heads of seated listeners appear at the bottom edge. The figure's appearance is consistent with the candidate description, though identity is uncertain, so this is a discourse setting with the speaker's role unconfirmed.
