Most attendees wear white clothes with orange-red shawls draped over their shoulders, and several women in yellow and cream saris are visible. In the foreground, the crowd sits on the floor and on chairs. On the left, a man in white stands at a small orange-draped lectern beside an ornate golden deity display with several murtis. On the right stage, a seated figure in orange-red robes and a red turban sits on a golden throne with a garland, flanked by a tall gold kalasha-style lamp stand. Behind the stage, a backdrop shows a large temple gopuram and a mountain under a starry sky. Drums and a standing fan are on the stage, and video cameras on tripods film the scene. The room is decorated with red curtains and golden pillars.
