Many devotees wear white, saffron, orange and teal clothing, with rudraksha malas around their necks, and several have hands pressed together in namaskar or clapping. In the foreground a woman in orange and gold sits with her hands near her face. On the right, a golden throne-like seat stands empty beside the crowd. On the upper right, a large screen shows a close-up of a figure holding a lit lamp, with another man in orange robes and a white-haired devotee nearby. Red drapes hang behind the stage, and a golden kalasha-style vessel is visible at the back. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.
