A large hall with red curtains and a wall-mounted screen showing figures in red and orange. Rows of white-covered chairs face the screen, and a crowd of seated devotees fills the room, mostly seen from behind. Several men in front are bald or shaved-headed, wearing white and orange-yellow cloth, a red-checked shawl, and beaded necklaces. A golden figure sits at the left edge near a small display board. The scene suggests an audience watching a presentation. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance alone, so the figures are described by role and clothing.
