Two saffron-clad men sit on a dark red velvet throne with gold lion armrests in front of a golden backdrop, facing a bank of news microphones. The man on the left, bald with white markings on his head and a rudraksha mala, raises his hand to his forehead and holds a red object. The man on the right, with long swept-back hair and a red headband, wears a heavy gold necklace, rudraksha armbands and an orange shawl with gold border, looking down and smiling. Microphones bear logos of Tamil news channels including Sun, Jaya, Vasanth and Polimer. A framed photo and a small sign appear at the right edge.
