A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne (peetha) draped with a garland border of yellow, orange, red and white flowers, with a red cushion and red cloth.

A microphone stands in front of him. Brass oil lamps (aarti lamps) with lit flames flank the stage on both sides, a white lectern stands at left, and a deep blue curtain forms the backdrop with orange cloth on the floor.
