A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate white-and-red throne, legs crossed, with a rudraksha-style mala visible at his neck. Beside him, priests in white dhotis with bare upper bodies and sacred threads sit on the stage, and a red-and-yellow ceremonial cloth covers the platform. Behind the throne stands a large golden deity murti with multiple arms holding weapons, below a bright blue-and-white projected screen. Gold ceremonial staffs with ornamental tops line the stage, and red curtains frame the hall. Several cameras and a camera crane are set up at the sides. Attendees wear black, green, blue and white clothing.
