Indoor children's programme in a hall at night with a seated audience of many boys and girls on a bare concrete floor. Two women stand at the front: one in a white dress with an orange shawl, the other in a dark patterned sari with a white-blouse trim. Behind them stands a large white-draped chair on a low stage, with a white cloth-covered table, flower vase, orange and white balloons, and a white-draped seat. Other women in saris stand at the back right. Many children wear bright shirts in yellow, orange, blue, and striped colours. No one clearly identifiable as a person is visible; the empty throne-like seat is unoccupied.
