A seated figure on a brown leather throne with gold-trimmed armrests faces away from the camera, arms outstretched, holding a tall gold trident in the left hand. The figure wears a red sleeveless top, a leopard-print wrap, and a black braided hair bun with long dark hair flowing down the back. Before the throne, a seated audience of many women and men in saffron, pink and white saris and kurtas fills the hall, and a gold lion-form figure sits at the throne's base. Behind, a large screen shows a close-up of a bearded figure wearing a red garment, rudraksha-style white beads and a tall black headdress. Red and gold hanging banners decorate the side walls. The figure on the throne is a person in the appearance-based sense, identified only by long braided hair, distinctive dress and a ceremonial trident; the photograph is of a live event.
