Indoor photo of a seated visitor group on the left in white, yellow and light-blue clothing, facing a cluster of ritual attendants in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and marigold garlands. A cameraman in white dhoti stands center, filming. A woman in a green sari with a gold-bordered orange shawl stands near the right. Behind them, several decorated umbrellas in pink, yellow and green are arranged around a red-carpeted area, and a colourful deity murti with raised arms and a golden crown is on the right. A small printed portrait of a figure with long hair and a garland sits behind the group, held on a stand. A decorative golden throne is on the right, and a standing fan and a hanging yellow lantern are visible. The central saffron-robed figure with long hair and a bead garland is a candidate for the a person depiction, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is treated as a ritual attendant.
