A stage performance in front of a dark blue draped curtain. A seated man in a gold crown and gold silk dhoti and kurta, with a red and yellow flower garland and dark wavy wig-like hair, holds a handheld microphone to his mouth while touching his ear with his other hand. Standing at left, a figure in an orange robe and orange dhoti with a white flower garland and a pink sleeve holds a microphone toward him, facing him. Both are barefoot on a grey stage floor. The seated actor appears costumed in royal attire rather than in any identifiable role of a real person.
