A man stands at centre with eyes closed and a tall dark cylindrical headdress, a yellow-orange tilak on his forehead, gold armlets, and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace over an orange wrap and leopard-print lower garment; he holds a silver trident (trishul) beside a brown leather armchair with a microphone stand. Seated devotees fill the foreground and background, many in orange and saffron clothing, with a saffron-clad shaven-headed man in the lower left. Large screen behind shows a glowing image. The man's identity is not established by appearance alone; he is described by role as a standing figure beside the throne.
