A wide view inside a white tent-like hall where a seated figure in orange robes and a garland of flowers sits on a white cushioned chair at left, facing a large audience. Many men in white clothing sit cross-legged on a pink mat in rows across the floor, with a few in orange at front. Colourful woven hangings hang from the ceiling, and portraits and a decorated altar with a deity murti are at the far back. The person in orange with the garland appears to be a person seated in a discourse setting, with cues of orange robes and a flower garland, though the face is too small and distant to confirm.
