Wide view inside a large white-ceilinged tent hall during an event, with rows of plastic chairs filled by seated attendees and a crowd standing and walking across a red carpet in the foreground. Most people wear white clothing, including white shirts, kurtas and salwar-style outfits. On the far stage, a group of figures in white and saffron stands before a painted backdrop of a mountain at sunset. Blue draped fabric, hanging lights and ceiling fans line the venue, and a green carpet covers part of the floor.
