A seated man in a rust-orange robe and a white-banded forehead sits on a leopard-print cushion before an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral and scroll carvings. He wears a multi-strand white and pink flower garland and a brown rudraksha-style bead necklace, with a small gold earring. He has his eyes lowered and sits behind a black keyboard with a Yamaha label. To the left, a man with a green turban decorated with white flowers, bare-chested and wearing a red-and-gold dhoti, raises green leaves over him as a sprinkling ritual, possibly an abhishekam blessing. A gold lion-shaped figure is visible at the lower right, and a microphone stands nearby.
