A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with a gold crown and a long garland of white flowers sits on a swing-like canopy seat draped with yellow and red floral garlands and a leopard-print cushion. Behind him stands an ornate gold-and-red throne backdrop surrounded by red and yellow marigold garlands. On the right, a man in white with a pale forehead marking stands with folded hands, and a woman in a yellow sari sits near the edge. White flowers and palm fronds decorate the stage floor, with bright pink and purple lighting.

He wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red robe, a gold necklace and a long flower garland, and holds a wrist-bangle hand near a microphone stand. Lilac stage lights and carved niche panels line the set.
