On the platform, a man in a rust-orange robe sits on a cushioned seat beneath a carved wooden canopy with bells, holding an open palm-leaf or paper text. Standing in front, a man with long dark hair in an orange garment gestures while speaking to the seated crowd. Children and young adults in orange, red and green clothing sit close, some holding small brass items. Stone deity murtis and a brass trident stand nearby against red walls, with a potted tree in the background.
