A seated audience in white ritual clothes and orange-saffron shawls fills a hall, many with orange-red stoles. On a raised red-draped stage at right, a female dancer in a purple costume with gold trim performs with raised arms beside a tall ornate pillar. Behind them, a gilded ceremonial structure with a golden arch and decorative figures stands in front of a wall with framed photographs and a large darker backdrop showing a lotus-like motif. A few people in white and saffron sit or stand near gilded palanquin-style shrines and a decorated peetha at left, with red umbrellas overhead. Overhead lights and a ceiling fan are visible.
