A crowded hall with devotees seated on the floor. A figure seated on a gold-framed brown leather throne wears a black turban-like headpiece, a deep orange-red robe and a dense rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold ornaments; the figure is an in-person candidate whose appearance is uncertain given the page does not confirm his presence. A man in a red shirt and dark trousers kneels beside the throne with his hands extended toward the seated figure. A man on the right wears a white dhoti-style garment with orange-gold shawl and rudraksha beads. Women in saris, one in cream, one in orange, sit nearby, and a trident-topped staff stands to the left beside a gold-trimmed low platform with an orange cloth.
