Over a hundred people in white clothes with red-orange shawls or sashes fill the floor, many with hands raised or pressed in namaskar, some seated on mats. At the far end, a figure in red and orange robes sits on a red throne beneath a decorative canopy, surrounded by flower arrangements and lit lamps. A tall silver-white backdrop and green plants frame the stage, with a screen on the right and a patterned checkered floor. Several people in white stand near the stage. Large framed paintings hang on the side walls, and a metal column stands in the foreground.
