Two men in white clothes stand on the stage holding a long rope, a figure in white stands at left, and a large audience sits on the floor in white clothes in front of the stage. Marigold and floral garlands decorate the platform edge and the arch, with a flowering arrangement at the stage front and a portable cooler beside the stage.
