A large festive hall with a red-carpeted central aisle leading toward a stage. Hundreds of seated devotees sit on colourful striped mats in rows along both sides, many in white and pastel clothing. Long hanging decorations in orange, yellow, red and green cloth and bunting, plus paper lanterns, fill the ceiling. On the stage a figure in white walks along the aisle toward the front, where a decorated altar with floral arrangements stands beside a large screen. Side screens show the stage. A figure in white walking the red aisle may be a person, but the distance and crowd make the appearance uncertain.
