Most attendees wear white clothing, with some in saffron, maroon and patterned saris. Red and white drapes frame the walls, with framed portraits hanging on the left and right. Two projector screens show images, including a figure in a red and gold setting on the right. At the far end, a stage holds a decorated altar with colourful ornaments, and a few figures in white stand near the front. Ceiling lights and an overhead projector are visible.

A large indoor hall filled with seated audience members in white, blue, and brown shirts on black chairs, viewed from behind. On the stage at the far end, a figure in orange clothing stands near a lectern beside a large backdrop painting, and projection screens on the side walls show images. Red curtains and framed portraits decorate the walls. A visible on-screen figure is too small to assess. a person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance here, so the stage figure is described by role only.
