A wide view of a temple-style hall with a stage draped in navy curtains and tall ornate pillars. On a central golden throne, a man in saffron-orange robes sits with garlands, flanked by two gilded seats bearing deity murti decorated with flower garlands; the left one holds a seated figure with a red cloth, the right one a bull-like golden figure. Around the stage, saffron-robed monks and priests in white dhotis sit on the floor facing the stage, along with devotees in white and yellow saris. A camera on a tripod and a monitor face the stage, and a reflective polished floor mirrors the scene. Oil lamps and flower offerings sit on the platform.
