Most attendees wear white head bands or blindfold-style white cloths over their eyes, and many wear white or cream clothing. Women in saris in red, orange, pink, teal and green are mixed among them. A red carpet runs up a set of steps at left, and dark blue-purple drapes hang along the upper wall. A few people in white stand near the steps at upper left, and a black speaker sits in the lower left foreground.
