A large indoor hall filled with seated attendees on blue and white plastic chairs, facing a raised stage at the far end. The crowd, mostly women in white and saree-clad devotees, watches a figure seated on a red and gold throne backed by a deep red curtain. Colourful hanging decorative pendants with geometric patterns line the tent ceiling, and a circular rainbow-coloured backdrop stands beside the stage. Plants and a small flower arrangement flank the dais. A few staff stand near the entrance on the left. The seated figure on the throne appears to be a person, identified by long swept-back hair and saffron-toned ornate clothing, while the people in the audience wear white, pink, blue and brown saris and salwar.
