A large seated audience of women fills a covered open-air hall at night, lit by a single overhead bulb and hanging red and gold paper lanterns. Many wear saffron, orange, red and yellow saris and shawls, while others wear white. Several women in the front rows have grey or white hair and glasses. On the right edge, a red-and-white wooden platform is decorated with a yellow-and-orange marigold garland. No individual on the stage is clearly visible, and no one can be confidently identified as a person from this image.
