A large festive hall with white tent ceiling hung with many colourful paper lanterns and hanging decorations in orange, red, yellow and green. A dense crowd of hundreds sits on red mats facing a central raised stage area where a figure in orange and saffron clothing is seated. Three large screens display close-up views of the stage. Women in white, blue and turquoise saris and men in white kurtas sit among the crowd, with a bald man in white and a bare-shouldered figure visible in the front rows. Cameras are mounted on tripods at the sides.
