A figure in white robes and a white garland sits on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, framed by garlands. Flanking the throne are two golden vahana-style mounts with decorated deity murti figures garlanded in flowers, one on a lion-like mount and one on a winged mount. Behind them hangs a large orange backdrop with a painted portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and red tilak, a Kannada-script heading, and a deity murti on the right. A cameraperson stands at left filming. Colourful woven banners hang from the ceiling. Many audience members are seen from behind in the foreground.
