A bearded man in a rust-brown saffron-toned robe sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne-like chair on a stage, smiling with one hand raised in greeting. He wears a long gold bead necklace, a gold pendant, a pink and white flower garland, a dark rudraksha mala, and wooden bead bracelets; a red bindi and white tilak mark his forehead. A microphone stands near his face and a small wooden stand sits to his left. Behind him, a large golden deity murti with a crown and multiple arms holds ritual objects beside a second smaller figure, against a backdrop of carved orange lattice panels, hanging oil lamps and green foliage, with a striped green and orange cloth draped over the stage edge.
