A large seated audience of men fills red plastic chairs under a white tent at an indoor-style hall. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers; a few wear orange or saffron shawls and white caps. Two banners above the stage read Ananda Galleria with pictures of a bearded man in a white turban and dark robe. Stage volunteers in white stand along the back and sides, and a woman in an orange sari stands near the back left. A white-draped stage and red-and-white swagged curtains frame the scene. Whether a figure matches a person's appearance is unclear, so no one is marked as him.
