Green leaf plates with food and small water bottles lie before them, and a man in orange robes serves from the front-left. In the far centre, a figure sits on a raised golden throne-like seat in front of a wooden screen, with a small image display behind.

Some people sit on a purple cloth near the centre aisle, and several people in white stand along the room edges.2016-03-30March 30 20162016-03-30November 12 20102010-11-12A large hall with white tiled floor and hanging decorative lanterns in orange, red and blue fills the frame.
