A seated man in an orange-brown robe sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne on a raised platform, holding a silver trident-topped staff upright in his left hand and gesturing outward with his right. He wears an orange-red turban with a crescent emblem, a rudraksha mala and a large ceremonial gold pendant necklace, with a tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a large screen shows a close-up of a man in a similar red turban. Below the platform, a dense audience in saffron, white and bright kurtas and saris fills a hall with white draped walls and orange lanterns. Two men in white kurtas with orange shawls sit to the left near the platform.
