A central figure with long dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-shaped carvings at its base, wearing reddish-brown robes and beaded necklaces; he holds a microphone. Gold lions flank the throne and a tall umbrella with red and multicolored fringe stands above it. To the left, several shirtless men in orange-red dhotis stand on a striped runner; a woman in white sits beside a ritual setup. On the right, women in orange-red sarees and a woman in purple hold brass plates. Rows of seated devotees in white clothes, some with orange sashes, face the throne, and banana leaves with offerings line the aisle.
