A seated man in a saffron-red turban, saffron-red robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on a silver-framed throne-like seat in front of a golden horse-shaped sculpture and tiered oil lamps. Behind him, gold statues and floral garlands frame a shrine-like stage, with a microphone stand in front. Rows of brass pots and kalasha-style vessels with offerings fill the lower platform, and strings of lights glow in the background.
