A large open-sided pandal with bamboo poles, palm fronds and hanging green leaf strings hosts a crowd seated on the ground. In the centre, a robed figure in orange and saffron clothing sits on a white-draped platform beneath a white and red fringed canopy, with a garland of white flowers and a red floral garland around the neck, hands folded. A standing man in a white shirt holds a microphone at left, and several men in white dhotis and shirts sit or stand around the platform. A tripod-mounted camera stands at right.
