A stage in a hall with red curtains and an ornate painted backdrop shows a central figure seated on a gold throne beneath a golden canopy, with a dark-robed central figure wearing a red garment. Around the platform, about two dozen devotees sit in rows with palms pressed together in namaskar, many women in white and cream sari-style garments with gold borders and men in white dhotis. Golden umbrellas and small brass lamps hang above, with golden animal figures (a lion-like figure and others) placed on the stage floor and a golden deity statue at the right edge. Screens and monitors appear at the bottom right. The clothing is white, cream, saffron and maroon.
