Indoor photo of a seated gathering in a hall with pale purple carpet and white plastic chairs. A large white cloth covers a central low platform where a long white-draped seat is arranged, with people sitting around its edges. Many people in saffron/orange robes sit in a semicircle, and a few men in white shirts and dark trousers sit on the left. A woman in a dark top stands near the centre-left. Behind them a framed picture of a deity hangs on the right beside a golden shrine stand, a flat-screen monitor glows at the back, and colourful woven banners hang from the ceiling and wall. A seated man in orange with a shaved head sits near the white cloth, though his appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to identify as the a person.
