A large hall full of seated devotees, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez, with hands joined in namaste. In the centre, on an ornate gold-and-brown throne, a man with a rust-coloured turban and saffron-brown robes sits with a pink garland and gold chains, hands raised before his face. A tall gold trident stands at the left edge, and two large screens show a close-up of the same figure. Red and white draped drapery, hanging orange lanterns and a red-carpeted dais complete the setting. Whether the seated man is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
