A large tented hall filled with seated devotees in white clothes, many wearing white headbands and lanyards, sitting on colourful striped mats. At the front, a figure in orange robes sits on a raised platform beneath a painted backdrop of a forest scene with a deity image. Coloured fabric banners with decorative tassels hang from the white tent ceiling, and a purple banner with white text reads Healers Initiation Program. The audience is dense across the hall. Cameras are set up near the front. The seated figure in orange at the front is not identifiable from appearance alone, so the role is given as a presenter in orange robes.
