Around them, seated devotees in white and cream saris and dhotis, some in orange, sit on the floor, while standing attendants in white robes and yellow shawls and a cameraman with a video camera occupy the back.

A gold-and-red throne canopy scene under a tent. A seated figure in saffron robes sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-form arms, surrounded by brass trays of offerings. Standing before the throne, a line of devotees in white and bright clothing press palms together in prayer; one woman wears a yellow and multicolour sari. Two saffron-clad attendants stand nearby, one holding a white flower garland. Striped and patterned rugs cover the floor, and a red cloth backdrop hangs behind.
