A large hall with a long green carpet runway down the centre, lined on both sides by rows of blue plastic chairs filled with many people wearing white blindfolds across their eyes, mostly in white and cream clothing and some in saris. A central figure in a flowing orange sannyasi robe walks barefoot down the green carpet toward the camera, with a camera on a tripod beside the wooden doors at the back. Two orange-clad attendants stand near the walls and wooden doors, with a wall clock above the entrance. On the left, a banner in Tamil reads 'Vanaprastha' with a portrait of a woman in orange, and on the right, an orange banner in Tamil with a similar portrait and the word Vivekanandar. Ceiling fans and fluorescent lights hang overhead.
