A large crowd of devotees sits on striped rugs and red plastic chairs in a decorated hall, viewed from behind. Most wear white clothes with orange-red shawls draped over the shoulders. On a raised stage, a central seated figure in an ornate gold throne is flanked by a deity murti and a decorated arch, with women in orange and white saris standing at the sides. The seated figure wears an orange-red robe and turban. A video screen and camera on a tripod are visible in front of the stage, and a plaque hangs on the left wall.

Several seated figures in saffron and orange robes sit on the stage around a central figure on a golden throne, with a red-turbaned attendant nearby and ceremonial fans and standards on either side. In the foreground, a large audience of men in white dhotis and white shirts with red-and-orange shawls sits cross-legged on colourful mats, many with their backs to the camera. Video cameras on tripods film the scene, and a digital clock and a signboard are visible at the left. A figure on the throne could be a candidate for a person based on appearance, but the cues are not clear enough to confirm, so the role is described only as a seated presiding figure.2015-09-16Wide view of an indoor assembly hall facing a stage decorated with ornate pink and gold shrine arches sheltering several deity murti and portrait figures.

Red and green patterned mats line the aisle. A monitor displays the stage, and a red and white banner with a bold white hanging cloth frames the back.
