A large indoor convention hall with a thatched, bamboo-lattice roof and fluorescent tube lights. Hundreds of seated attendees fill white plastic chairs facing a raised stage. On the stage, a woman in an orange sari sits on a cushioned seat in front of a small table, flanked by potted plants and yellow-and-green bunting. Two projection screens and a pink backdrop hang behind her, and a stack of books sits on a draped table at the left. Men in white shirts and women in colourful saris make up much of the audience, and a standing fan is visible at the lower left.
