A standing man in a mustard-gold striped kurta and dark trousers, seen from behind, faces a stage draped in deep red curtains. Along the front, several women sit cross-legged on a colourful striped mat in saris: one in rust-brown with a beaded mala, one in pink with blue, one in turquoise-blue with a gold border, and a woman in orange-rust with a microphone at the right end. Behind them stand gold-painted ornate thrones and a large golden chair with a cobra-hood canopy. A few people in orange and blue sit to the far right. Ceiling bells hang on strings above. Visible people total roughly six to ten, so the count is 6-20.
