A smiling man with long dark hair, a short beard and a red tilak on his forehead sits on a pale blue cushioned throne-like chair before a decorated stage. He wears a saffron-orange wrap over his bare shoulders and chest, and his hair is long and swept back, with a visible saffron-toned wrap. Behind him, a garland of white flowers and red roses hangs on a pillar and a ceremonial trident stands on each side. Silver and brass trident staffs with ornate finials and a microphone stand are arranged around the seat. Two women in saffron and red saris sit in the foreground with their backs to the camera, facing him. Oil lamps and a white-and-red floral arrangement sit on a yellow ledge at left, and a white building with a brown door forms the backdrop.
