A large outdoor-style stage event under a red canopy with dark red curtains. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne in the centre of a raised platform, with a large gold kalasha-style lamp and potted plants beside him. A dark carved relief of a deity with multiple arms, possibly Shiva, hangs on the backdrop. Several musicians and attendants in orange and saffron clothes sit at the sides of the stage. A dense crowd of hundreds of seated people, mostly women in red, orange, yellow and white saris and salwar, fills the foreground on a red carpet, with film cameras on tripods at the stage edges. The seated figure on the throne has long dark hair and wears saffron garments and gold adornments, but the appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm who he is, so the identity is uncertain.
