Dim indoor hall photographed from the back, with a large audience of many people seated on the floor in white clothes, viewed from behind. A large lit screen at the front displays an ornate red and white floral mandala or patterned design flanked by two blue-lit side panels. Dark stage curtains, overhead truss lighting and a small table at the front complete the scene. Several short yellow poles stand among the seated rows. Audience numbers are too many to count precisely and extend across the frame.
