A festive tented hall with white fabric ceiling and hanging lamp-shaped paper decorations in pink, yellow and green. A bearded man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace sits on an ornate golden throne carved with lion heads, wearing a rust-orange robe and a shawl. He receives a small silver tray holding a gold deity murti from a participant in white, while a man in a white shirt with a marigold garland in the foreground reaches toward him. Other devotees in saffron, pink and white clothing stand around, and a woman in white with an orange shawl stands nearby. A devotee in white and a woman in a white dress with a garland are visible in the background. The scene reads as a darshan-style offering setting, with the seated figure consistent with the Swamiji cues described above.
