A large crowd of devotees fills a red-draped tent hall facing a raised stage. Dozens of colourful hanging lanterns line the ceiling. On the stage, a golden throne-like seat with a golden structure stands before a glowing red-and-white backdrop. A figure in a red turban and red-and-gold garments sits centrally on a red-cushioned seat beside a golden animal figure, with a trident-like staff nearby. Several people in white stand and sit around the stage. A golden deity murti decorated with flowers appears at the right edge. Many attendees in white, saffron, orange and green clothing sit in the foreground, some with their backs to the camera.
