A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange walls, facing a raised red-and-gold throne on the right. A figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and long dark hair sits on the throne; the candidate matches the appearance cues but the identification is uncertain, so the figure is described as a seated speaker on a throne. Many devotees wear white, orange, yellow and green saris and white kurtas, some with red and orange shawls. Red carpet covers the floor in front of the throne, with orange cloth beneath the seat. Along the back wall, a long framed display with photographs and printed text is hung, and decorative cloth banners with yellow tassels hang from the ceiling. A glass case with a metal frame stands on the left.
