A large audience of devotees sits on the floor facing a stage draped with red swagged curtains. On the stage stands a golden deity murti seated on a golden throne, with a figure in red and orange robes and a garland seated near it, flanked by clay kalasha pots and green plants under a thatched straw canopy. A cameraman on a tripod films from the right side of the stage, and a video camera is also set up on the floor. Many seated people wear orange and saffron garments, some bare-chested, and some with shaved heads. A small brown sign at the right edge is partly visible.
