A large tented hall filled with seated devotees on a long red carpet runway leading to a raised red platform where a figure in orange-saffron robes sits on a golden throne-like seat. Overhead hang rows of colourful paper lanterns and decorative fringed ornaments in red, yellow, green and pink. Side screens show large images of the event. Foreground devotees in pink, orange and white saris and dhotis sit with hands folded in prayer, and a small shrine tray with a deity image sits at the lower left. The seated figure on the platform appears to match the a person candidate by saffron clothing and a throne, but the appearance is uncertain and no reliable identifying cues are clear at this size.
