A photograph inside a plain, high-roofed hall with white-painted walls, a corrugated metal roof, ceiling fans and fluorescent tubes. Several people in saffron-orange robes stand and walk across a concrete floor. On the left, a figure in orange with a shaved head and mala beads walks beside a second orange-clad figure. A third orange-robed young man stands barefoot near the center, and two men in white dhotis stand near a staircase. Rows of white plastic chairs fill the foreground, and a patterned rug lies at the bottom edge. Wooden shelves holding framed photographs and books stand against the back wall, and a corkboard on a raised platform displays colourful drawings and papers. The orange-robed figures are visible but their faces are not clearly discernible at this scale.
