A seated figure in orange robes sits in the centre of a stage on a golden tree-shaped throne, hands pressed together in namaskar. The golden branching structure, known as a kalpataru, rises behind and around the seated figure, and red and white striped drapes frame the back. Garlands of marigolds and flowers hang along the backdrop and pillars, with flower arrangements placed at the stage edges. Dark curtains and a lit ceiling frame the hall, and a small speaker sits at the front of the stage. The figure is too small and distant for facial or ornamental details to be made out, so the identity is left uncertain.
