Inside a red and orange tented pavilion, a standing priest in an orange robe and bare upper body raises a lit lamp before a golden throne bearing an orange-clad seated figure. Behind the throne, a gilded backdrop shows a deity murti with a crown and trident-like emblems. Devotees sit on the green floor in red and white saris, many holding small oil lamps, while a seated priest in orange chants at a microphone on the left. A framed portrait stands near a camera on a tripod, and a golden parasol is held above the central seat.
