A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate golden throne with red cushioning, garlanded with flowers and decorated with silver and gold fringe, under a canopy hung with tassels. The stage backdrop shows painted symbols including a crescent moon, a trident, an om symbol, a stylised Shiva lingam with three horizontal bands, a dove, a drum and a crown-like ornament, lit with green and amber light. Brass oil lamps stand on either side and small floral arrangements flank the throne. The figure's face is not discernible enough to establish identity; the figure appears seated in darkness on a stage, so identity is uncertain.
