He wears a leopard-print garment with layered rudraksha malas and gold bead ornaments, and a pendant necklace. Two men in orange and saffron clothing with mala beads kneel and watch with clasped hands beside the stage, and another man in white stands behind. Warm stage lighting, a dark curtain and a window frame form the backdrop.
