A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a stage, backed by a decorated green-lit wall with painted symbols: a crescent moon, a shiva lingam with trident-like emblem, a damaru drum, an Om symbol, a dove in a blue circle, a sword and a fan-shaped staff. The seated person wears an orange-saffron robe with a matching shawl and a rudraksha mala, with a white cloth on the head. Garlands of yellow, orange and red flowers frame the throne, and brass oil lamps stand on either side with lit candles on tall pillars. a person candidate sits in the central seat, appearing as a sannyasi in saffron with a rudraksha mala, seated as a guest of honour.
