To the left, a figure in an orange robe with a gold bead necklace claps. Behind him stands a golden throne draped in red cushions and garlanded with flowers and white jasmine, and a floral arrangement sits beside a dark backdrop with printed plaques.

A video camera on a tripod and a microphone are visible in the foreground, and dark silhouetted audience members fill the lower half. Flower baskets and marigold arrangements decorate the stage base. a person is a probable candidate by the described throne, turban, garland and ornate clothing, but the figure's appearance is not distinctive enough for certain identification.2010-01-01A smiling man in a white embroidered kurta and white turban with a red tilak sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne decorated with white jasmine garlands and red roses.
