Photograph from behind a large audience seated in white and orange-clad rows facing a stage at a convention hall with deep red draped curtains. On the stage, a seated figure in red and white garments sits on a gold-ornamented throne before a large painted backdrop of a seated deity murti with a trident. To the right, a second throne features a decorated deity murti garlanded with flowers and framed by a golden arch, with a purple cloth draped below. Oil lamps and brass kalasha-style ornaments flank the stage, and a video camera on a tripod records the proceedings. Some audience members wear red shawls or white garments.
