A stage event in a hall with a dark red curtain backdrop and a golden ornate throne platform. A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a gold necklace sits on a gold throne with red cushions, beneath a golden leafy canopy; the figure has distinctive adornments and long hair, a person candidate. Around the throne, a group of women and a few men in white and cream ceremonial clothes sit on a carpeted stage, some wearing red-and-gold shawls and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. A man in an orange robe stands at left and a man in a white kurta stands near the throne, with a woman in a magenta sari beside them. Gold lion-like figures and deity panels flank the throne. A small screen at the lower right shows a video feed.
