A large crowd of devotees sits in a tented hall during a darshan event. A man with long dreadlocked hair stands on a raised platform between two gilded lion-headed seats, wearing a rust-orange draped garment, a long rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold-bead necklace, with a sceptre-like staff beside him. He is a person by visible appearance cues, shown as an in-person figure. Devotees in orange, red and white saris and kurtas fill the foreground and background, many with glasses and some wearing shawls. A keyboard on a stand sits near the platform. Several hundred people appear in the scene.
