A stage at an indoor auditorium is decorated with gold drapes, blue-and-gold swags and floral arrangements along the front edge. Several people in white dhotis and saris stand around a central seated figure in an orange-saffron robe on a raised platform, with a deity murti or ornate backdrop behind them. Other people in saffron, yellow and white clothing stand on the green-carpeted stage. Below, a large audience sits in red-cushioned seats, many seen from behind. The scene appears to be a ceremonial reception or ritual on stage.
