A large indoor hall filled with a dense crowd of seated devotees on red carpet, most wearing white dhotis and kurtas with orange or saffron shawls, some bald-headed monastics in orange. The view looks from the back toward a raised red stage at the far end, where a central figure in red garments sits on a seat, with a deity murti or framed image behind. Two large screens on either side show a figure in red and white. Potted plants and stage lighting frame the scene.
