A seated man in an orange-red saffron robe and matching red turban sits in a brown leather armchair on a stage. Behind him a large backdrop shows a grey temple gopuram tower against a starry night sky with a glowing peak. To the left a black ceremonial drum with gold bands stands on a stand, and to the right stands a silver-and-gold ornamental lamp stand, a brass lamp and flowers in orange and yellow. A small gold pedestal and a tray of flowers sit in front of the chair. The man is an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable) given his saffron robe and red turban and his position as the seated speaker on the stage. He is the only physical person visible in the scene.
