Wide interior photo of a hall with a whitewashed wall, exposed thatched roof and tiled floor, where a group of people sit on blue and orange mats and rows of cream plastic chairs facing a small stage with a dark curtain and an easel whiteboard. Several women in saris, one in a green and red sari, sit cross-legged near the front, while a man in white clothes sits at a table at the far end beside a monitor and speaker. A woman in a white sari sits on a chair to the right, and a man in white and orange-trimmed cloth sits at the back right. Striped orange and red curtains hang at the windows. No one is clearly identifiable as a person; the scene shows an audience and a presenter during a class-style session.
