Outdoor ritual scene at a sunken water-filled stage with a large flower-decorated ceremonial structure. A tall ornate canopy-like form draped in garlands of yellow, red and green flowers stands at the left of a red-draped platform. Several people in orange and white clothing sit on red chairs and the platform, with robed figures near a pot and a small table. Rows of seated spectators fill red tiered stands behind, and a large screen is visible at upper right. Pink and white flower petals are scattered on the platform edge. The water reflects the decorated structure and stands.

Tiered red seating behind the stage is filled with a large audience of people in white and mixed clothing, and a camera boom extends across the right side.
