Many people wear white, cream, yellow and saffron-orange clothes; several women wear sarees and some men wear white shirts and dhotis. A raised stage with a yellow-and-white canopy sits at center-left, and two large screens display a portrait-style image, with a third illuminated portrait panel at right. Green-lit trees frame the left side under a dark sky, and a bright floodlight shines at the right edge. No individual on stage is clearly visible at this distance, and the screens show printed images rather than live people.
