A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves, with a gold-framed backrest. He wears a white turban with a small red bindi, a white shawl over white dhoti-style garments, and a long gold necklace of ceremonial links. He smiles and raises one hand in a blessing gesture while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him are red and gold cushions, a gold-leaf altar-style screen, and lit brass oil lamps on the walls. Garlands of flowers also hang along the stage edge.
