A stage event with an elderly, shaved-headed monk in saffron robes seated in a wheelchair on a red-and-silver-draped platform, his hands raised in greeting. A younger saffron-robed monk in an orange turban bows deeply and touches his feet, with a red garland around his neck. Other saffron-robed monks in turbans and shaved heads stand nearby, and men in white kurtas and dark trousers stand at the side holding folded papers and a booklet. Behind them hang navy blue drapes, a white carved arch, and a string of orange marigold garlands along the ceiling line. A red carpet runs across the floor in front of the stage.
