A large ceremonial stage with ornate gold-painted arches and a red curtain backdrop hosts a seated figure on a gold throne-like seat at the centre. Behind him stand gilded deity murtis, including a seated figure with a crown and attendant figures, with decorative umbrellas overhead. Rows of seated devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with red-orange shawls fill the foreground, many with their backs to the camera, and a camera on a tripod is set up at the front. Several men in orange and saffron robes sit on the stage flanking the centre. The central figure wears saffron-toned clothing and is seated on a gold throne, appearing as a person presiding over the gathering, though the image is distant and his appearance is partly obscured.
