A photograph from the back of a large hall filled with seated devotees, most in white clothes, facing a stage. On the stage a seated figure in red and orange clothing with red rudraksha beads sits on an ornate gold throne with a floral garland-decorated canopy, while a gold deity murti in a red garment with garlands sits on a separate gold seat beside it. Tall striped banners with diamond and bird motifs and orange tassels hang from the ceiling, with white draped fabric and a grey backdrop behind the stage. Cameras on tripods are visible near the stage. Several devotees in the foreground have shaved heads. Due to appearance cues, the throned figure may be a person, but the image is ambiguous.
