Wide view inside a large open-sided pavilion with a woven palm-thatched roof and exposed beams. Hundreds of seated attendees fill rows of white plastic chairs and floor mats on green matting, facing a central stage area at the far end. A long red carpet runs down the middle aisle toward the stage, which has screens and a small raised dais. Some attendees wear saffron, orange, pink and white saris and kurtas, and a few white-robed figures stand near the right side. A large portrait is visible on a side banner at the left.
