Large hall viewed from the back rows, with a dense audience of men and some women seated on the floor in white clothes, many wearing ID lanyards. On a raised stage beneath a deep red curtain and hanging yellow and blue patterned banners, a figure in orange robes sits on a white cushioned seat flanked by flower arrangements. A camera on a tripod and a stage assistant in white appear at the right. The seated figure in orange, central on stage, is an appearance-based candidate; the ceremonial setting and orange clothing fit the Kalpataru convention described on the page, though the face and features are too small to confirm identity.
