Stage photo at an indoor hall event. A seated figure sits on an ornate golden throne with a tiered golden canopy and red cushions, wearing a red head covering and a garland of red-and-white flowers, which marks the central figure as the honoured guest. Around the stage, about eight people stand in traditional and casual dress: a man in white dhoti with a red shawl at left, a man in a dark patterned shirt and white dhoti beside him, a seated man in blue shirt and shorts in front, and several women in pink, red and orange saris and salwar kameez holding papers. A painted blue deity figure with a crown stands on a backdrop decorated with hanging drums. Black draped stage skirting and a camera on a tripod are in the foreground.
