A large audience of many people dressed in white sits in rows of black chairs, photographed from behind, facing a stage with red curtains. On the stage a golden throne stands before a large multi-armed deity murti, a goddess figure with a crown and raised hands, flanked by smaller golden figures. A seated robed figure in orange and saffron with a garland sits at the centre of the stage, appearing to address the hall. Film cameras on tripods and standing fans frame the stage; a potted tree sits at the left. The seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
