A indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof supported by yellow metal trusses hosts a seated audience of children, mostly girls with dark hair, facing a speaker on a low stage at right. The speaker, wearing a green top with a microphone in hand, sits beside a table with papers and a small black device. Behind them a large printed portrait labelled "Dhyanapeetham" shows a man in a white turban and light robe, and a purple banner with a painted figure hangs on the wall. On the left, a white projection screen displays a slide of a landscape, with purple, red and green cloth banners draped nearby.
