A seated bearded man in an orange-saffron robe smiles from an ornate silver-and-red throne on a raised stage, holding a wooden staff. Beside him stands a tall silver trident with twisted shaft.

A projection screen above left shows a bearded figure in orange. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, full beard and saffron robes, seated on the throne as the central speaker.
