A young man seated in a cushioned chair speaks into a handheld microphone, wearing an ornate gold jeweled crown, a long white and gold garland, a jeweled pendant necklace, a mustard-yellow silk shawl over a cream embroidered kurta, and maroon trousers. Behind him on a large gilded throne, a figure in orange robes, an orange turban, and a rudraksha mala raises one hand in blessing, surrounded by a garland of white, yellow and red flowers. A printed backdrop shows a temple-style scene, and a gold trident stands at the right. A white feathered fan is visible at the right edge. The seated man is one physical person; the figure on the throne is a depiction in a photograph or backdrop display and is not counted as a physical person. The seated man's caption on the backdrop reads a copyright line.
