A large seated audience of women and girls fills a covered outdoor hall, most wearing white, pink, green and yellow sarees and salwars, with long braided hair often decorated with white flowers. In the foreground, a woman in a white saree with a pink-clad companion face the stage. A large banner behind the stage shows a portrait of a smiling figure in a white head wrap and orange garment, raising a hand in blessing, beside Tamil text and a colourful circular emblem. The stage is draped with white cloth and gold-trimmed pink fabric. The printed portrait is not a physical person, and the hall holds hundreds of visible people.
