The figure, bare-chested with a saffron-orange wrap over the shoulder, has long dark matted hair falling down the back and holds a tall golden staff. Golden lion-shaped seats or thrones flank the figure. Many devotees wear saffron and orange shawls, white kurtas and red or orange headwear, while others wear green and colourful sarees. A cameraman with a video camera on a tripod stands at the right, and white chairs line the back of the stage area. Gold kalasha-style finials and a black-and-white backdrop frame the scene.
