A seated bearded man in a rust-red and maroon robe, wearing a long rudraksha mala and gold chain, sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-head armrests and a brown leather seat, looking down at a tablet he holds. A tall golden trident stands to his left. Before him, a large crowd of devotees sits on the floor, many with red-and-yellow tilak markings on their faces and foreheads, some in white and saffron clothes. Two large screens above show the gathering, and a white pedestal fan stands at the right. The setting is a bright hall with white pillars and a red-and-gold wall panel.
