Emerald with the house lights up. Black steel roof, crimson wall panels with diamond lights, mirror-polished granite.

Emerald
The big room
Emerald is the largest of the three: 20,000 sq ft, 25 ft to the ceiling, seated for 2,000, centrally air-conditioned. Black steel trusses carry the roof, crimson panels with diamond wall lights run the long walls, and the floor is mirror-polished granite.
The two plates below are the same end of the same room. On the left, the stage apron with nothing built on it. On the right, a gilded mandapam standing on it at night. Nothing about the room changed between the two photographs.
