A man in a flowing saffron-orange robe and orange dhoti walks barefoot across an orange-and-purple mat under a corrugated roof in an open courtyard. He has long, swept-back dark hair and wears a rudraksha mala around his neck, and he is smiling and gesturing with his right hand. To his left stands a gilded throne with red cushions, and in front of it a gold-and-silver ceremonial stand holds a figure draped in orange cloth on a green silk cloth. Behind him, people in white and yellow garments and orange saffron robes stand along a railing, and a camera on a tripod films the scene. A large landscape photograph of misty trees and a waterfall hangs on the back wall.
