Photograph of a youth convention hall with a long table row of seated monks in saffron and white robes with orange shawls, several with hands pressed together in greeting or applause. Seated attendees in white clothing line the foreground and right, some clapping. Colorful striped banners with elephant and bird motifs hang from the ceiling, and a framed portrait of a bearded man in a white turban and garland sits on a stand at right beside red drapes. Balloons in purple, orange and light blue hang near the top. Printed panels line the back wall. A single figure in white stands near the back, and a woman in white sits at right. The seated monk at centre-right in orange appears to be the honoured figure, and the visible face in the portrait is not matched to an identity.
