Three women sit on the floor at the front: two in orange saris with rudraksha malas, one holding papers and seated beside a laptop, and one at the right in white clothing with her back to the camera facing the throne. A water bottle and laptops rest on the stage. Banner and portrait figures are depictions, not physical people.
