A seated figure in a rust-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in namaste, speaking into a microphone on a stand. A gold-framed deity murti stands at right, richly dressed in gold and embroidered garments with a tall crown, flanked by smaller attendant figures, under a gold canopy.
