On the stage, a seated figure in orange-saffron robes with rudraksha beads sits before a large projected backdrop screen showing a standing figure with a long-haired crowned appearance and rudraksha mala. A purple draped backdrop, a golden ceremonial seat, a small circular target-like graphic board, and stage speakers surround the platform. Cameras and staff operate near the stage edges at right.
