A large tented hall filled with a dense crowd seated on the floor and in chairs, many in colourful Indian clothing. A bare-chested man in a long dark shawl and wraparound cloth stands at the centre holding a tall golden ceremonial staff, with a golden-ornamented seat behind him and a white pedestal fan beside it. Hanging from the ceiling are rows of ornate red, orange, yellow and pink lanterns or lamps with tassels. Two large screens on either side show close-up images of the same robed figure. The figure may be a person, identified by the long hair, saffron-toned adornments and staff, but this is uncertain.
