Photograph of a large seated audience facing a stage at an indoor programme. A seated figure in red garments sits on an ornate pink-and-gold throne at the back centre, beneath a gold canopy. Two deity-form figures stand on the right in purple and orange garlands, and a painted blue Shiva-like figure with a trident appears on the left wall. A man in a maroon shirt stands with his back to the camera in the foreground, while many people in white and orange-saffron shawls sit in rows of chairs. Decorative drums and cymbals hang from the wall, and a screen on the right shows images.
