A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a hall facing a stage. On a gilded throne with lion-carved arms, a man with long hair and a red-and-saffron garment, wearing a white garland, sits in the centre of the stage. Golden trident-topped staffs, lion figurines and brass lamps flank the throne. Behind it, red drapes and a large gold tree-like backdrop frame a golden deity murti. Colourful woven banners hang on the walls, and a cameraman on the right films the scene on a tripod. Many attendees wear white, cream and light shirts.
