Wide view of a stage under a wooden peaked roof with stage lights, a red carpeted platform and a starry night backdrop. A figure in orange-saffron robes sits on an ornate gold and red throne with a hooded cobra canopy and garlands, a trident leaning beside it. A candidate in saffron robes with a long beard and distinctive ornate throne seating is shown; appearance cues are limited due to distance, so identity is uncertain. Two white speaker boxes and a floor fan flank the stage.
