A bearded man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate red and silver throne, holding a microphone and gesturing, with a cloth-covered platform and colourful striped mat in front. Behind him, golden ceremonial stands and tall gold staffs frame a large blue-lit screen showing a deity murti. Red drapes line the hall and cameras are set up at the sides.
