A large indoor hall with white walls, red-brown pillars and rows of ceiling fans and lights shows hundreds of people in white traditional clothes bending forward with their heads down on a red carpet, appearing to perform prostrations or a collective devotional posture. Potted green plants stand at the edges, and a projector sits on a small black stand in the foreground near a loudspeaker mounted high on the wall. No individual a person candidate is clearly identifiable in the visible frame; the crowd is dense and mostly from behind.
