A large black-and-white portrait of a smiling woman with dark hair fills the backdrop, labelled by no visible caption. A figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange turban and a beaded necklace stands at centre on the stage, surrounded by devotees in white shirts and saris, some in orange and yellow saffron-toned saris holding a child. A man in saffron robes stands to the right, and a cameraman in white with an orange scarf films the scene. Bare-chested men in white dhotis, one with a blue cloth over the shoulder, stand in the foreground near drummers.
