A figure in a pale turquoise top and yellow dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a white head wrap, and a microphone in front.

To the right stands a small deity murti in a decorated shrine, and a cameraman in white works nearby. In the foreground, a large audience of mostly shaved-headed devotees in white clothing sits facing the stage, with one person in an orange shirt among them.

Hanging banners with orange tassels and multicolour patterns frame the stage, and a pedestal fan, tripod cameras and monitors stand near the platform.

Visible crowd appears to be roughly 20 to 30 people.2011-01-21September 02 20102010-09-02
