A stage under a draped tent canopy at an evening gathering. A seated man in orange-saffron clothing sits on an ornate golden throne with a tall canopy and garlands, flanked by a trident. Rows of devotees sit cross-legged on colourful striped woven mats along the front of the stage, many in white and pink and red saffron-toned clothes, several shaven-headed in white. Purple and pink backdrop lighting and rows of stage spotlights illuminate the scene, with a camera operator at the right edge.
