A photograph taken from the back of a hall, looking toward a stage draped with black curtains and woven textile panels in yellow, orange and red hanging from the ceiling. Strings of pink, green and yellow pennants decorate the top of the stage. On the stage, a seated figure in orange robes sits before a decorated throne-like seat with an ornate backdrop, and a standing figure in orange robes stands beside a golden stand. Rows of seated audience members in white clothes face the stage on white plastic chairs and on the floor, with a few people in patterned shirts among them, and a man in a white shirt with a pale head is at the left edge.
