A photograph inside a decorated tent with a red carpet and rope barrier. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rust-coloured head wrap and a yellow-and-orange marigold garland points toward a shrine on the right, where seated deity murtis sit on a gold-and-orange throne-like altar with ornate decorations and a small brass lamp. Beside him, an older bearded man in orange robes with a long white beard and vibhuti marks holds a phone. Behind them, a man in a pink-and-white robe, a man in a checked shirt, and other attendants stand in a crowd. A hot-pink umbrella with fringe hangs overhead, and a banner behind them shows a group photo. The man in the rust head wrap and garland may be a person, based on his saffron robes, garland and distinctive presentation, though his appearance is not fully certain.

A man stands barefoot on a red carpet in front of an ornate golden throne with red tiger-striped cushions and gilded lion-head arms. He wears an orange-saffron turban with a red bindi, a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with golden borders, a heavy gold garland with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a small headset microphone, gesturing with one hand while speaking. Two painted and gilded four-armed deity statues flank him, one holding a conch and the other a club, under a maroon velvet canopy.
