A large hall filled with seated devotees in white dhotis and white blouses, many bare-chested men wearing white dhotis and beaded necklaces, and women with red shawls. A central figure sits on an ornate silver and red throne, wearing a red and maroon robe, a long red and white flower garland, and bangles, with long dark hair swept back and a dark wrap draped over one shoulder. A large silver trident and a ceremonial staff stand beside the throne, and a wooden stand with a tray is in front of it. Water bottles, a standing fan and a camera operator are visible. A poster-sized painted image of a deity hangs on the wall behind. The figure has distinctive long hair, adornments and a ceremonial throne, matching the page's indication that a person is present, so this is a probable identification from appearance cues.
