A large indoor convention hall under a draped ceiling of cream and lavender swags with hanging floral decorations and bright lights. A dense crowd of hundreds of people stands in rows, many wearing white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes, dressed in white, pink, yellow, blue and green saris, kurtas and shirts. At the far end, a stage area with banners and tall decorated pillars stands behind them. Ceiling fans and a white curtained wall frame the scene.
