Photograph of a large hall seen from behind a seated figure on a red-cushioned chair, facing a large crowd of devotees. The seated figure has long dark braided hair tied up with a reddish cloth, bare upper body with a saffron-coloured shawl draped over one shoulder, gold armbands and bracelets, and holds a small ceremonial staff. Beside the chair stands a tall trident-like staff. A golden bull statue. Devotees in white, orange and saffron clothing fill the foreground and seats, some with palms pressed together. A cameraperson films from the stage edge. a person's presence is visible by appearance cues: long braided hair, shawl, armbands and staff, so this is a person candidate seated on the chair.
