On a raised stage, a figure in orange robes and a dark cap sits on a throne-like chair in front of a gold Nataraja (dancing Shiva) relief framed by a cream curtain. To the right, several deity murti are decorated with gold crowns, garlands and colourful silk, flanked by a camera on a tripod. Two women in saffron and white attire stand at the stage edges, one gesturing with raised hands, and a large screen shows more participants. The foreground attendees wear white, grey and orange clothing.
