Wide view of an indoor hall during a seated event. Rows of black chairs face a stage decorated with painted panels showing standing gilded deity figures, an ornate golden throne-style canopy and a red and maroon curtain above. On the right of the stage a floral garland-decorated shrine area stands. Two large screens on either side show a portrait of a figure with grey-white hair and orange clothing seated on a golden throne. About two dozen people are visible: some seated in the chairs in white and light clothing, and a few devotees in orange robes near the right side. Overhead ceiling fans and fluorescent lights are visible.
