A large outdoor pandal with a pink fabric canopy hung with pink decorative tassels and pink ribbon motifs, supported by blue metal poles. Rows of seated attendees fill the red-carpeted and gold-railed seating area, most dressed in white, with some women in saris of blue, red and yellow. A uniformed police officer in khaki sits near the centre front. On the right, a man in orange robes with a bare head sits on a seat, identified by the page only as a person by appearance; the figure is shown in orange clothing but no distinctive long hair, crown or malas are visible, so identity is uncertain. Draped white and red backdrop panels with gold trim line the rear of the stage area.
