Devotees in white and yellow clothing stand with their backs to the camera in a hall facing a stage draped in deep red curtains. On the back wall a large carved relief shows a multi-armed deity seated in meditation with a trident. Below it, a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits on a raised dais beside potted plants and a tall oil lamp. Several devotees raise their hands in devotional gestures while others in white dhotis and tunics stand nearby, and a camera on a tripod records the scene. Many attendees are visible, including a bare-chested man in a white dhoti.
