A man seated on a carved wooden chair on a stage, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears an orange-red shawl and orange-red dhoti over a leopard-print garment, with a long orange-and-rudraksha mala garland and a gold pendant. His long dark hair is swept up and he has orange-yellow tilak marks on his forehead. A white cloth with the partial word NITHYANANDHAM is draped over his lap. A silver trident stands to his left beside a small wooden table holding wrapped items, and a tan cushion rests on the floor in front. Behind him hangs a large painted backdrop of a dancing Shiva figure in gold tones.
