The figure has long dark matted hair and wears a leopard-print garment with a reddish-brown wrap, and holds a tall golden staff or ceremonial object upward. Many devotees wear white, cream, orange and saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. Colourful hanging banners with geometric patterns and small golden umbrella-shaped lamps hang from the ceiling, and white draped curtains line the back wall. A framed notice board with multilingual text stands among the crowd, and a golden lion or ornate golden figure is visible at the lower right. A standing fan is in the foreground. Several people are visible, but a precise count is not possible from this view.
