A large hall with red drapes and a stage backdrop showing a glowing pink-and-blue sky above a golden deity murti seated on a pedestal. A man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over an orange dhoti and a headset microphone, walks barefoot down a central aisle lined with colourful striped mats. Seated participants in black clothing line both sides, with several shirtless and white-clad people in front. Rows of golden trishul staffs and brass lamps stand on the stage. Cameras and tripods are visible at the edges. The man is an appearance-based candidate for a person given his saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and microphone, though his face is not visible in identifying detail at this scale.
