A wide photograph of a large hall during a seated programme. Many people sit on red and striped mats and on black plastic chairs facing a stage at the far end. A large screen on the right shows a woman in a red saree speaking into a microphone. Framed portraits hang along the back wall beside red curtains, and a smaller screen above the stage shows images. Most attendees wear white, red, green and blue clothing. The audience is large, so the count is a broad estimate.
