Five people sit cross-legged on an orange-carpeted stage in front of a large gilded throne. Four men and one woman wear orange saffron robes; the bald man on the far left gestures with his hands, the man second from left has curly hair and a gold bracelet, the man in the centre wears wire-rimmed glasses and a rudraksha mala, and the man second from right wears glasses and a red-striped orange shawl with a small pendant and gold bracelet. The woman on the far right wears an orange sari with a red blouse and a beaded necklace. Small microphones are visible in front of them. No candidate for a person is clearly distinguishable among the seated people, so the identity is uncertain.
