A large audience seen from behind, many with arms raised in devotion, fills the foreground of a tented hall with red drapes. On a red-carpeted stage, a tall dark deity murti with multiple faces and a raised hooded canopy stands beside a golden bull figure and a kalasha-like stand, with a ceremonial trident (trishul) set at intervals. A standing man in an orange-red wrap with long, loose hair stands centrally on stage, appearing to face the audience; the appearance is uncertain for identity. A large screen behind shows a cosmic starfield with a light beam. Stage lights hang from the truss overhead.
