Wide view from the back of a large hotel ballroom filled with a seated audience of many dozens of people, mostly in white, red, and colourful kurtas, saris and dresses, several with red garlands. Two ceiling chandeliers hang above. At the front, a figure in orange or saffron robes stands near the centre stage, flanked by two large video screens showing close-up images of the stage and a red-and-gold backdrop with framed pictures. Several people in white stand or sit near the stage. Some attendees have their hair in buns and wear rudraksha-style beads.
