A bare-chested man with a maroon-red turban and a jewelled ornament at the front of the turban sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaskar on a tiger-skin seat beside a golden bull statue. He wears a long gold ceremonial necklace, a leopard-print cloth across the chest, rudraksha-style beaded malas and gold bangles, and a maroon-brown dhoti. A tall gold trident stands at his right. Before him, a large seated audience in saris, kurtas and casual clothes sits with hands folded, and two large screens display the event at the sides of the hall. A few people in the front row also join palms in prayer.
