A wide hall with a white tented ceiling and hanging colourful decorative banners with elephant motifs. On the right, a standing figure in a long saffron-orange robe with long dark hair stands on a raised white platform beside a red velvet curtain; the robe and hair are cues consistent with a person, but the face and distance leave appearance uncertain. Along the left, a long line of men in white shirts and dark lower garments stands with hands folded in prayer. Near the centre, several people in white dhotis and kurtas stand around a small table, and a figure in white and red stands at the right-centre doorway. The floor is pale tile with orange-brown border lines. Ceiling fans hang above.
