A large audience seen from behind sits on the floor of a temple-style hall facing a stage. Most attendees wear white clothes, and some wear orange or saffron garments. On the stage, a seated figure in orange-red robes with a white cloth over the shoulders sits before a golden-yellow temple door flanked by painted columns and two standing gold-and-red dvarapala guardian statues. Brass vessels, oil lamps and a small offering are placed near the seated figure, and a small deity murti sits to the right. Video cameras on tripods film the scene from the sides and front. Red curtains and gold carved panels frame the hall.
