A man stands on a carpeted stage in front of a golden throne draped with red cushions and a tiger-skin cloth, pointing one finger upward while speaking into a headset microphone. He wears a rust-orange turban with gold stripes, a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a long red and white flower garland, layered rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial pendant necklace, plus gold bangles and armlets. Behind him a painted and gilded deity murti stands holding a staff, with an ornate pillar in orange and pink.
