Photograph of a seated audience facing a raised stage in a hall with red drapes and a large golden-framed backdrop showing a multi-armed goddess figure. A man in a red-orange turban and orange robe with a long rudraksha-style garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. Beside him stands a large deity murti decorated with a colourful flower arrangement in red, yellow, purple and white, a gold crown and gold cloth. Devotees in white clothes and some in orange sit cross-legged on the floor in rows, many shaved-headed or seen from behind. A camera on a tripod and stage lights are visible. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure on the throne, identified by the turban, orange robe, long garland and throne cues.
