Devotees in white and colourful saris line up in a tented pavilion, approaching a large ornate gold throne decorated with white flower garlands and a hanging gold canopy. A brass trident stands beside the throne, and a figure in orange robes sits or stands near it, with a red-and-white garland draped on the throne. In the foreground, several women in white mundus and a woman in a green blouse with a cream sari bend or stand with hands together, while others in yellow, red and blue saris wait behind. Pink rose petals carpet the blue floor. Behind the throne, a painted backdrop shows orange-robed figures and a rocky landscape with greenery. A man in an orange shirt holds a camera at the right edge. Several people in white are seen closer to the camera, and the scene reads as a devotional darshan gathering.
