A dimly lit open-sided pavilion with a seated figure on a flower-decorated throne. The central figure wears saffron-orange robes and holds a trident-like staff, seated before a red cushioned back framed by thick garlands of white jasmine and yellow and orange marigolds. Around the throne, a crowd sits on the floor and stands; many wear white clothing and some women wear saffron shawls. A standing man in a light blue shirt faces the throne, and a man at right holds a microphone near the front. Bunting flags hang along the top of the tent, and a green and pink striped mat lies on the ground in front of the seated people.
