A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-shaped supports and a red cushioned back, his palms pressed together in namaskar. A white and orange garland hangs at his neck. In front, a row of devotees sits on a patterned carpet under a tent canopy: a woman in a white sari with a blue border holds her hands folded, a woman in a pink sari with a yellow-trimmed shawl sits with her back to the camera, and others in white and yellow garments face the throne. A brass plate of flowers and fruit sits in a red-based stand before the throne, and a laptop and microphone are on a side table. The setting is a paadapooja sarvadarshan.
