On the stage, a man in white sits on a gold and red ornate throne-like chair, with a figure in white seated at his feet. A dark starry backdrop with painted sun, moon and planets decorates the stage, flanked by flower arrangements on white-draped tables. Several attendants in saffron, orange and white stand on the stage, and a bright blue-and-white decorative canopy frames the top of the hall.
