An ornate golden throne (peetha) stands centred on a red-draped stage before dark red velvet curtains. Atop the throne, a framed portrait shows a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a white beaded mala, hand raised in blessing, before a banyan-like tree; this is a printed picture, not a physical person. Two tall golden oil lamps with bird-topped finials flank the throne, and a small golden tray in front holds two pink lotus flowers and ritual vessels. The scene is an empty stage set-up with no physical people visible.
