Behind them a large red backdrop shows a smiling face in an orange turban, with the word Anandasham in gold script. At left, a figure in a gold crown and a dark costume stands beside a costumed effigy. Seated audience members in white and pastel clothes, many on striped mats, watch from the floor in the foreground, including children and women in saris.
