A large hall with red draped curtains hosts a seated gathering of many participants on white-covered chairs. In the foreground, a woman in a fuchsia kurta and a long beaded mala sits and speaks, while a woman in a black sheer shawl with pink trim holds up a small white card. Other participants wear pink, orange, maroon and red saris and salwar kameez, some with dark glasses. Behind them, a large screen shows a close-up of a ceremony, and a golden throne-like seat with a gilded frame stands at left. Attendees with small brass objects and papers sit at a table. The scene is busy and crowded.
