Photo of a temple-style stage set in a hall with deep red drapes. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a red turban sits on a silver throne with hands pressed together in greeting, a microphone stand in front. A standing figure in orange robes with long hair and bare upper body raises one arm toward the seated figure. Behind is a large golden bull (nandi) and a golden-framed shrine with garlanded deity murtis, including a figure with a crown on the left and a standing female deity in green and gold on the right, both draped in marigold garlands. Two golden attendant figures flank the central dais, and a small table with cards and offerings sits at the front.
