A seated man in orange-red robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a red-upholstered silver throne in a large hall with a gold throne behind him. A trident stands beside him. Around him, a crowd of devotees in white dhotis and shawls with yellow borders sit in rows with palms joined in anjali, many with rudraksha malas. Two large screens show the event, and cameras are present at the side. Hanging paper lanterns in red, yellow and blue decorate the ceiling, with a chandelier above. Tables with white and yellow cloths are visible at the sides. a person candidate is the central figure on the throne; appearance cues include long hair, rudraksha mala and orange robes, so identity is probable but the seated figure's face is not clear enough to confirm.
