A large indoor hall with a metal roof and a raised stage draped in cream, red and gold fabric with orange flower arrangements. Many people in white ritual clothes stand on the stage and along its edge, some women wear saris in red, orange, pink and yellow. Audience members in white sit on white plastic chairs on a green floor, and a small floor monitor and speaker stand in front. A man in white with a necklace stands at the lower left near the stairs. No clearly identifiable central figure in saffron or crown is visible, so a person's presence cannot be confirmed from appearance.
