A large audience of mostly women in orange and saffron saris and white garments sits facing a stage in a temple-style hall with red curtains. On the stage, a central seated figure in saffron robes and an orange turban sits on a silver-and-gold throne in front of a white sacred backdrop. Flanking deity murtis are decorated with garlands: one at left in blue with a crown, a gold figure on a golden bull at centre, and a seated goddess figure in green and pink at right. Attendees wear rudraksha malas and mostly orange clothing. A camera operator stands at the left edge. Golden peetha and kalasha-style decorations frame the stage.
