Most wear black or dark t-shirts and trousers; one man in front wears a white kurta and dhoti. A man in the foreground wears a rudraksha mala over a striped shirt. Overhead hang multicoloured paper decorations and lamps. At the front, a gilded ornate deity murti and a stage backdrop are visible, with a large screen showing a figure in orange and red robes. Right of centre a cameraperson films, and a clock-like display sits on the wall. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person; the screen image shows a robed figure seated in front of a backdrop.
