A decorated stage in a large white tented hall during an Anandotsava event. A speaker in white stands at a flower-draped pulpit on the left. Behind a row of gilded ornate thrones and a low table draped in white and orange flower garlands, several seated figures in orange and saffron robes and white clothing sit; one figure in saffron with a shaved head and another in orange sit centrally, with a man in white on the right. A banner behind the stage shows a framed portrait of a woman in a white sari and a row of framed photographs of men. Gold elephant figurines and a brass kalasha-style lamp stand on the stage edge, and marigold and rose garlands line the steps. Overhead lights hang from the tent ceiling.
