A seated man in orange robes and a red-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne under a small gold canopy, with one hand resting on the throne's gold armrest. An elderly man in white kneels before him with palms pressed together in greeting, and a woman in white sits to the right beside a microphone stand. A large backdrop shows a smiling face in red tones. Other people in orange and white stand at the left edge, and a white-draped platform with a patterned runner is in the foreground. The orange-robed seated figure has long swept-back hair, a garland and a throne, which are cues matching the event page, but the appearance is only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain. Assigned roles are devotee, attendant and host.
