A seated man in a saffron-orange robe and matching turban sits on an ornate silver throne with a carved, sunburst-style back and a leopard-print cushion. A white and red floral garland hangs around his neck, and a silver ceremonial parasol stands above the throne. A large red velvet curtain and stage lights hang overhead, while the backdrop shows a large printed painting of red-lit gopuram temple towers. A small offering of green plantain or banana leaves with fruit sits on the stage floor in front, and a microphone stand stands to the right.
