A seated man in red-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-form armrests and a gilded arched backrest, beneath a canopy topped with a finial. A tall trident stands beside the throne. He wears a red-orange shawl, beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and a bare upper body; his hands rest folded in his lap. Stage spotlights cut through haze across carved stone pillars and temple-style sculptural backdrops. Audience members in silhouette sit in the foreground, one holding up a phone. The throne, trident and stage setting indicate a ceremonial presentation.
