A bearded, smiling man with long dark hair sits on a golden throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth, wearing a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders and an orange dhoti, with a red tilak on his forehead. He rests one arm on a cushioned armrest and holds a silver staff upright beside him. Behind him a large projection screen glows white. Dense audience seating fills the foreground and sides, with many attendees in orange, red and saffron clothing, some wearing rudraksha malas, and a few in white and pastel tops.
