Wide view inside a large white-tented hall where a seated audience fills the floor in front of a raised green-carpeted stage with light blue skirting. On the stage, a figure in orange robes with a white shawl sits on a cream upholstered throne-style chair, with a second person in orange seated at the side and a small tray with flowers at the edge. Behind the audience, a row of people in white and orange sits on a platform beneath framed portraits along the wall. Striped decorative hangings in red, yellow and blue hang from the ceiling, and ceiling fans are visible. The audience includes many women in white, pink and saffron saris and salwar kameez. The figure in orange with the white shawl on the throne may be a person, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm.
