A large hall filled with a seated audience, the central focus being a man on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved armrests. He wears an orange-red turban, an orange-brown robe, and multiple rudraksha malas with a gold ceremonial necklace; he rests one finger against his lips in a thoughtful pose. Beside the throne stands a silver trident (trishul) and a small ornate silver shrine-like object. Behind him, two video cameras on tripods film the scene against white draped curtains. The audience includes many women in saris and salwar in pink, blue, green and yellow, along with men, children and a bald man in white in the foreground, with a dense crowd filling the hall. Several people in the front rows are seated on the floor.
