On the stage, a figure in an orange-red robe with a crown sits on a golden ornate throne beside a golden trident and a green leafy tree-shaped backdrop, with a trident-marked golden structure behind. Two large screens on either side show a live close-up of the speaker in teal clothing. Camera and boom equipment are visible at the left. Shallow crowd, many with braided or bunned hair, some in red, green and mustard saris.
