A seated man in an ornate brown-and-gold leather armchair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a beaded necklace, sits elevated at the front of a hall facing a large seated audience. Most attendees wear white clothes with orange-red shawls printed with patterns. Some have shaved heads or white hair, and several sit on the floor in front of chairs. A brass ceremonial staff stands beside the throne, and a small table with orange cloth and a microphone sits at the front. Behind, a red-walled area holds a seated figure near a table with offerings.
