A photograph from behind a large seated audience in a hall with white ceiling lights and red curtains. Rows of black plastic chairs face a stage with a decorated backdrop of green, gold and red panels and a golden throne with a central figure seated on it. Two large screens on either side show close-up images of a crowd. Many attendees wear white, saffron and orange clothing, and some have rudraksha mala beads. The foreground shows people seated on chairs, including a woman in a light blue top with a braid and a person in a grey top with a shawl. There is no clearly identifiable a person candidate with distinctive visible cues, so the seated figure on the stage is left unidentified.
