Wide view of an indoor hall set up for a ceremony. A large ornate golden throne with a tiered white and red striped canopy sits center stage on a multicoloured striped mat. A figure in pink-toned robes sits on the throne, appearing to be a statue or deity murti rather than a live person; the throne is flanked by golden ornaments. Below, a row of about nine people in white, red, orange, yellow and blue traditional clothes sit on mats with hands pressed together in namaste, facing the throne. Red curtains hang behind, with decorative framed pictures on stands and a small brass-coloured animal figure in front. Overhead stage lights and a monitor are visible at the bottom right.
