A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork wears an orange robe, a white and pink flower-decorated crown, and layered garlands of red roses, pink and white flowers, and yellow-and-purple blooms. He smiles and holds a small blue-skinned deity figurine on his lap. Beside him, a younger man in orange robes and a white-bead garland smiles, with long dark hair. A woman in white stands behind the throne, a water bottle and laptop sit on a white table at left, and blurred audience heads fill the foreground. The setting is a plain pink-walled hall with a microphone stand on the right.
