A large indoor convention hall under a draped ceiling with purple and cream fabric and rows of lights. A dense crowd of hundreds fills the red-carpeted floor, many men in white shirts and white headbands raising white cloths and arms. At the centre, a figure in orange robes stands amid the crowd, possibly a sannyasi, surrounded by people reaching toward him. Some attendees wear plaid and striped shirts, and women in saris stand among the crowd at the back.
