Rows of black chairs and white-clad participants fill the floor, many in white garments with some in red and grey saris. On the stage, a central figure sits on a decorated seat before a golden and red backdrop with ornate floral arrangements, flanked by attendants; two large screens display similar imagery on either side. Red curtains line the walls and white ceiling fans hang overhead. Cumulative attendance is large but the visible people are numerous and dense.
