A large stage in a hall with red drapes and golden arches holds a central decorated throne garlanded with yellow and multicolored flower strings, with a deity murti or figure on it. A man with a shaved head, a saffron cloth and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a cushioned seat in front of the throne, with a microphone before him. Golden standing figures flank the throne, and garlanded side shrines on each side hold further figures. A man in white ritual dress stands at right beside camera tripods. Seated devotees fill the foreground, many in white and saffron, facing the stage.
