A seated man in saffron-red robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads, raising one hand in blessing. He wears a red tilak, a rudraksha mala with beads, and a gold chain, with long dark hair swept back. Stage spotlights shine down on the throne, which rests on a patterned red-and-gold rug. Behind him, hanging colourful ribbons and a decorated backdrop frame the stage. The image is a stage photograph of a ceremonial event with no other people visible.
