A photograph from behind a large seated audience in a hall with blue stage drapes and orange-and-white banners hanging above. On a raised dais, a central figure in orange robes sits on a gold ornate throne with red cushions, flanked by two white pedestals holding yellow flowers. Most of the audience wear white clothing and sit cross-legged on colourful mats, with some in pink, orange and blue; several have shaved heads and others have long braids. A camera on a tripod stands at the left edge of the stage. A wall plaque and two projection screens are visible. The seated figure on the throne is an appearance-based a person (saffron robe, throne, seated central position on the dais), but his features are not clearly discernible at this distance.
