A photograph of an empty ceremonial stage inside a decorated pavilion with a woven bamboo ceiling. A large ornate red-and-gold throne sits centrally with a red cushioned seat and a small footstool covered in white cloth. Above it hangs a tall, cascading canopy of white and silver beaded or floral strands topped with a red and white flower arrangement. The back wall is draped in gold fabric with diamond-lattice panels and garlanded with red and white roses. Rose petals are scattered on a white runner leading to a red carpet, with purple flowers at the front corners, green matting underfoot and a microphone stand beside the throne. No people are present.
