A photograph of a large hall with a dark stage backdrop and hanging orange, white and blue patterned banners. A central figure sits on an ornate gold throne with a canopy, wearing orange robes, a saffron-orange shawl and orange beaded necklaces; a backdrop shows a temple-style deity image. Below the stage a man in orange robes sits cross-legged at a microphone at left, lamps stand on either side of the throne, and video cameras on tripods film the stage. Many people in white clothing sit on the glossy floor in rows, reflected in its surface, with a few in colourful saris at right.
