Wide view from the back of a large hall filled with rows of white plastic chairs and hundreds of seated attendees, mostly women with hair in braids or buns, wearing sarees in pink, red, yellow, lavender and blue, with a few men in white shirts at the front right. They face a raised stage under a white tent canopy. A large backdrop shows a smiling figure in a white and orange turban and saffron-toned clothing against a glowing orange and red circular halo, with a smaller portrait and a flower arrangement on the stage. The backdrop carries Tamil text for a person Spurana convention, and a colourful concentric-circle banner hangs at the right. Speakers and lights hang from the canopy.
