A bearded man with long swept-back hair sits smiling on an ornate silver-and-red throne-style chair on a stage, arms crossed over a rudraksha mala and layered floral garlands in red, white and orange. He wears a rust-brown ochre garment and a dark vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead. Behind him, a gilded arch frames golden deity murti figures, and green foliage and potted plants surround the dais. A trident stands at left beside a brass oil lamp, and a microphone stand is at right. Red curtains and striped ceremonial banners complete the setting. a person is seated on the throne, identifiable by the mala, garlands and long hair, with the stage backdrop.
