A seated figure in a red-orange robe and red turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a golden canopy above, in front of a deep red draped curtain. A standing man in a rust-and-gold robe and rudraksha mala holds a microphone and speaks toward the audience. Around them, young children in white and saffron-orange dhotis or sarees with rudraksha malas stand on the red carpeted stage beside a table with water bottles and a monitor. The throne figure lacks the distinctive long hair or ornate gold necklaces that would confirm a person candidate, so identity remains uncertain.
