Indoor tented hall during an evening programme with seated audience on striped woven mats. In the foreground, many devotees in white clothing sit cross-legged facing a stage. On the left stage, a figure in red-orange robes sits on a golden throne framed by a floral garland arch, with a small offering table nearby; the person's face and appearance are too distant to confirm identity. On the right stage, two dancers in ornate white and gold costumes perform before a row of seated musicians with drums and instruments against a blue drape. Decorative hanging banners in red, yellow and blue decorate the ceiling. A lit stage with spotlights and a camera on a tripod are visible.
