A seated man with long dark hair and a gold chain necklace, wearing white and gold-bordered robes, sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow and purple flower garlands. He extends his hand to take a clear acrylic award plaque from a standing man in a white kurta and white trousers who holds it with both hands. A microphone stand stands between them, and a gilded backdrop framed with white, red and blue bead-like trim surrounds the stage. A plaque on the award reads a printed name and photos of a saint portrait. Fresh marigold and other flower arrangements decorate the stage edges.
