In the foreground, a man with his back to the camera wears a mustard-brown striped kurta and holds a small object. On the carpeted stage, several women sit on the floor in saris: one in pink and purple, two in blue saris with beaded necklaces, and one in a rust-orange sari holding a microphone and speaking. Behind them stands a gold-and-brass ornate throne, a golden pedestal with a large seated figure visible, and a golden peetha-style seat. Further right, two women in orange and red saris sit near a small table. A printed portrait of a bearded saint sits on the throne. A brass railing runs along the front of the stage.
