At the right, a figure seated on a red-draped platform wears a rust-red garment, heavy gold necklaces and a gold crown-like headpiece with long dark hair, holding a tall silver-and-gold ceremonial staff topped with a trident-like finial. Beside a black electronic console, several devotees in white hold phones to record. A gold lion-form seat section is visible at the far right. Nearby devotees sit on red mats and many people raise mobile phones.
