A seated man in a red-orange robe with a red-and-white beaded rudraksha-style mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back, flanked by gold-finished lamp stands and red flower arrangements against a dark blue curtain. Two women in orange and red sit to the left at microphones, one with hands joined in namaste. A woman in a white sari with a gold border kneels on a red carpet before a small oil lamp and a brass tray, while a man in a grey shirt sits on a chair at the right beside a tall silver multi-branched lamp stand. Brass figurines rest on a tray in the foreground. The seated figure's appearance matches several cues of a candidate, so he is described as a person, seated on the throne and giving a talk.
