A seated figure on a golden throne draped in white and red-and-yellow flower garlands speaks into a microphone stand, smiling, with one hand raised. The seated figure wears a dark embroidered long robe over a black shawl and has long dark hair; this is a person cue match from distinctive long hair, ornate dark clothing and a ceremonial throne setting. A devotee in white shirt and white dhoti kneels at left with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them hang a maroon curtain, a blue draped backdrop and a white wall with a row of painted cutout figures in traditional dress. Garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigold and red blossoms decorate the throne.
