A large audience of devotees sits seated on the floor of a hall, viewed from behind, most wearing white clothing with red-and-white checked shawls draped over their shoulders. On a raised golden throne at the front, a figure in saffron-orange garments and ornate gold necklaces sits on a stage backdrop painted with an old city of temple spires and ghats. Two video cameras on tripods film the stage, and gold pillars with carved figures frame the platform. Flower arrangements and a metal stand flank the throne.

Camera tripods and video cameras stand at the sides, and a microphone is placed before the throne. A brown chair stands in front of the stage and small oil lamps sit along the edges.
