Devotees sit on the floor in rows facing a raised dais in an indoor hall. A seated figure in an orange robe occupies a brown carved chair at the centre, with a standing attendant in white beside it. Behind the chair is a large floral arrangement of red, orange and white flowers framing a gold-edged decorative backdrop, and a standing deity murti with a gold crown and a trident stands at the left against white draped fabric. Many devotees wear white, orange and red garments, and women have hair in braids and buns. Potted plants sit at the right near the front of the dais, and a fan and speakers are visible at the edges.
