Photograph of a seated congregation in white ritual clothes facing a raised stage at a large hall with red curtains. Many attendees in white shirts and dhotis sit on pink and green mats in the foreground, their backs to the camera. On the stage, a large golden throne-like altar and a white deity murti with a halo stand above a seated figure in orange robes, with a golden shrine behind. Several saffron-robed attendees sit along the stage edge, with cameras on tripods filming the scene and an empty orange armchair to one side. The hall's walls are decorated with pillars and a rounded golden canopy hangs overhead. A figure in orange robes sits on the central throne, but facial appearance is not sufficient to confirm identity.
