A photo from the back of a hall filled with seated attendees, most wearing white or light shirts and red lanyards, viewed from behind rows of heads. On a stage at the front, a woman in an orange sari stands at a microphone beside a man in white clothing holding a microphone and wearing a beaded necklace. A large screen above the stage shows a close-up of a figure with dark swept-back hair, a crown-like headpiece, a beaded garland and orange-and-gold ornate clothing, seated with a hand near the face. To the left of the stage a golden deity murti with blue skin and a decorated headdress stands on a raised platform, and a video camera on a tripod records the proceedings. The room has warm wood-panelled walls and a closed door at right.
