They face a stage at the far end framed by deep red drapery, where a large ornate golden deity murti or throne-like shrine with a sunburst-style halo sits under a decorative arch. Two large screens on either side show a painted image. A camera on a crane arm films the crowd, and a few people stand near the stage. White ceiling fans and recessed lights illuminate the room.
