Devotees in white clothes with orange shawls sit on the floor of an airy atrium with a glass staircase behind them, watching a flat-screen TV in the foreground. The TV shows a split view of a live feed: an upper panel with a seated priest and a deity altar, and a lower panel showing a large crowd in a hall with a framed portrait. Several men in front wear orange-trimmed white garments and orange lanyards, with a bald man in the centre-right looking toward the screen. A visible face-free screen feed and foreground bags complete the scene.
