A large seated gathering of devotees in white clothes with red-and-saffron checked shawls sits on mats in a stage hall, many with hands raised to the top of their heads in a meditative gesture. On the stage behind them stands an ornate golden throne-like seat beneath a purple cosmic backdrop with a large eye motif and red flame design, flanked by brass lamps and potted plants. A wooden lectern stands in front of the crowd, and small camera and sound equipment are visible. No individual on the stage can be clearly distinguished as a candidate, so the central seat is only an empty peetha.
