A large hall with white chairs and pale pink walls shows a seated group of men in a ritual process, most bare-chested with white paste or sacred ash on their chests and foreheads and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Several sit cross-legged on yellow mats, and some raise a hand in a gesture. A bare-chested man in dark green-black cloth sits front centre with a bead necklace. Behind them, a man in an orange cloth and a man in white stand among other attendees, and a woman in a yellow garment stands in the background. A large ornate golden throne stands at the far right. Hanging red and orange decorations and a screen with projected images appear above. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.
