Outdoor evening scene at a gathering on bare ground beside a stone wall and tall bamboo. A golden ornate throne with a red cloth-draped platform sits under a red and yellow canopy. A man in an orange-and-gold garment with a green shawl and a bearded face stands near the platform, possibly a devotee or attendant rather than a confirmed identity. Women in saris and salwar kameez stand in a line behind a rope on the left, while women and young people in saffron-orange robes sit or kneel on the right. A child in white stands among the onlookers.

Outdoor photo at dusk of a line of devotees standing on bare ground before a raised red-draped platform. On the platform, a seated figure in a reddish-orange cloth with a green garland sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold lion-like carved armrest and a canopy with red, yellow and blue fringed trim above. Devotees in saris and kurtas, many with hands pressed together in namaste, face the platform; some in white and teal clothing stand behind a rope line. Green bamboo and trees fill the background under a blue evening sky. Visible physical people number about 30 standing devotees plus the seated figure, a count in the 21-100 range.
