The ceiling is hung with many tall cylindrical decorations in red, orange, yellow, blue and green patterns with yellow tassels, alongside chandeliers and spotlights. At the far end a central stage has an orange canopy, pink floral side panels, and a framed portrait on a backdrop, flanked by two large screens. The crowd appears to number well over twenty people, with many more beyond the visible front rows.
