A figure in orange robes sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a large white throne-like chair centred on a stage. The backdrop is a reddish-brown drape decorated with vertical strands of yellow and orange marigold garlands and small flower clusters. Flower arrangements in red and yellow stand on either side of the stage, and white-draped tables flank the throne. Several audience members in the foreground wear white headbands or blindfolds, and a set of maroon steps leads up to the stage.
