A row of saffron-robed sadhus and sannyasis sits cross-legged on a stage behind long silver-toned tables, each table holding brass-like trays heaped with orange and yellow marigold garlands. Several men wear rudraksha malas and one wears an orange turban; a standing priest in white and orange clothing with a bead necklace stands at the right edge. Behind them, a decorated silver-framed throne and ornate pillars with deity-like figures and a fringed canopy frame the dais beneath stage lights, with a microphone at the right. The seated figures are all in orange robes, and none is clearly identifiable as the presenter from appearance alone.
