A staged darshan set-up in a hall with maroon drapes and a ceiling light rig. Centre, a large ornate heart-shaped throne with gold lion figures sits before a deity backdrop of a goddess holding a lotus, with a gilded tree motif above. Seated on the throne is a figure in an orange-gold turban and gold necklaces, not clearly identifiable as an in-person candidate; he appears to be a statue or depiction with a beaded garland and an orange drink on a small table beside him. To the left, a large golden deity murti with a raised trident and a red garland stands by a banner. Right, a gold canopied palanquin with floral garlands and brass lamps on a patterned rug.
