A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor with their backs to the camera, facing a raised stage framed by deep red velvet curtains and gilded carved panels. A figure in orange robes sits on an ornate white throne at the centre of the stage, with a small hanging lamp above. Several video cameras on tripods film the scene, and a gilded deity statue stands at each side of the stage with oil lamps at their base. Many men wear white dhotis with gold borders and some wear orange shawls; a woman in orange sits at the right edge, and a few people in western-style clothing sit among the crowd.
