The feeds show devotees seated on mats and carpets in home or temple shrine rooms, some with deity murtis and garlands, one with a brass tray of kalasha-like vessels with flowers and oil lamps, and one with a man in orange robes seated on a mat. Several devotees appear in the feeds, with a few in saffron and orange clothing, and a shrine with garlanded murtis is visible. The screen sits in front of the audience.
