A central stage shows a gilded throne-like altar flanked by two painted standing deity murti figures in orange and green. A framed portrait labelled with a printed caption sits at the centre, showing a saffron-robed figure with long hair, and a golden lion statue appears at left. Two video cameras on tripods film the stage, and a projection screen at right shows an image. Several people in saffron stand near the stage.
