A decorated stage with a large printed portrait backdrop of a smiling man with long swept-back hair and a red-orange forehead mark. In front, a small seated figure in a white robe and cream turban sits on an ornate white flower-garlanded throne with a kalasha-topped canopy. Colorful balloons in red, blue, green, silver and yellow are heaped at the base, with flower petals scattered on the stage. Yellow and white garlands frame the backdrop, and a brass lamp stand flanks the throne. The seated figure is too small and indistinct to establish identity by appearance, so the portrait is the only clear depiction. A small mirrored photo sits at the right edge.
