A large indoor hall during a seated ritual gathering. At the centre front, a figure sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a canopy with decorative umbrellas, flanked by attendants. Rows of participants in white dress with red-orange shawls sit on striped mats, many with palms pressed together, while others in saffron-orange robes sit to the left. Long rows of food offerings on green leaf plates and metal cups lie along the mats. Oil lamps are held by several people in the foreground. Large screens on both sides show footage of a crowded assembly. a person is not confidently established; the throned figure's appearance is too uncertain to attribute.
