A large crowd of devotees stands with their backs to the camera, facing a lavish stage at a festival event. On a carved, ornate stone-style throne at the centre, a figure in a saffron-red robe sits in meditation, with a stone-pillared temple-like set behind. Many attendees wear white kurtas and dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, and several hold up phones to photograph the stage. Stage lights in green, blue and purple beam over red drapes, yellow and orange fabric swags and hanging lanterns, with a dark speaker in the left foreground. The seated figure has long hair and a saffron robe, a visible cue, though the photograph is taken from a distance so the appearance is not fully certain.
