Photograph taken from the back of a dim hall filled with rows of black plastic chairs and seated audience members in white and light clothing, many with their heads visible from behind. A large seated figure in red and gold sits on an ornate golden throne with a decorated backdrop of painted mountains and a deity murti on the left stage. On the right stage, a red backdrop displays a large portrait of a saffron-robed figure with long hair and a turban; a performer in a costume stands beside it. Hanging orange and striped decorative pillars frame the stage, and a projector screen is mounted in the center. A bald man in a white shirt sits prominently in the foreground.
