A photograph of an empty zebra-striped upholstered armchair set as a throne-like seat in a white-walled hall with bamboo blinds. On the seat stands a gilt-framed portrait of a man wearing a golden turban and a golden-coloured garment with a dark shawl and beaded necklace, set against a silver-toned background with red beading around the frame. Gold-coloured vases hold red, yellow and pink flowers on the side tables, and a white metal frame stands at right. No people are visible; the portrait is a depiction, and its identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

An empty stage set for a discourse, centred on a high-backed armchair upholstered in black-and-white zebra-stripe fabric with a cream cushion and two rolled bolsters edged in orange. Flanking the chair are white pedestal tables bearing arrangements of orange, white, pink and red flowers, with a small framed photo on the left table. A red-and-gold patterned rug lies in front, and a red velvet curtain fills the background. A white pedestal fan and a microphone stand stand at the right edge. No people are present.

The gold-framed photograph shows a smiling man with long dark hair in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, seated cross-legged before a banyan tree with one hand raised in blessing. Below, a folded patterned cushion sits on a striped table cloth flanked by black candle stands and vases of orange and red flowers and green foliage. No physical people are present.

Behind it, a glass door is decorated with painted panels showing seated figures. No physical people are present.

Two children kneel on a red patterned rug before the chair, one holding a red tray of yellow and orange flower petals. A golden trident stands to the right, a metal scaffold frame and a loudspeaker are in the room, and a red-and-white striped armchair and a bed with yellow cloth are nearby.
