A man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-brown leather throne with carved gold lion heads on the armrests, extending his right arm outward in an open gesture while smiling. He wears a black turban-style head covering, a red bindi, a long beaded rudraksha mala and layered gold ceremonial necklaces. A small wireless microphone is clipped near his face. Behind him a large audience of mostly seated devotees fills the hall, many wearing orange lanyards, and a silver ritual vessel is partly visible at the upper left.
