Many women wear white, cream, green and orange saris and have long braided hair; men wear white kurtas. Steel railings divide the seating area from the platform. A wall plaque with printed text hangs above. The scene looks like a darshan or satsang gathering, with no visible deity murti or clear ritual action identifiable beyond seated attendance.2010-07-23A seated group of devotees attends a ritual in a hall with a red carpet and steel railings.

In the centre, a man in an orange-red robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy, gesturing with both hands as he speaks. A tall golden trident stands beside the throne, and a cameraman films from the left. Water bottles sit on the carpet, and a large screen at the top shows a deity image.
