Indoor photograph of a seated audience facing a single figure on a beige sofa at the front of a hall. The central figure wears saffron-orange robes and has long dark hair, and is seated in front of a row of four framed portrait banners on stands, each showing a different robed figure in white and red headwear. The audience sits on the floor in white shirts and light clothing, many with heads visible from behind. White fans stand at the sides, a yellow and blue woven hanging hangs from the ceiling, and a blue sign reads NO MOBILES ALLOWED. The visible portraits in the banners are printed images, not physical people. Several dozen seated people are visible.
