A large indoor hall under a decorated tent ceiling with pastel draped fabric and bunting holds a dense assembly of seated delegates on a long red carpet aisle leading toward a distant stage. Rows of people sit cross-legged on the floor, many wearing white shirts and dhotis, saffron or orange shirts, and colourful saris in yellow, purple, green and pink. Several women in the foreground have their hands pressed together in prayer, and some attendees wear name badges and rudraksha beads. Banners and posters line the side walls.
