A large indoor hall with a red carpet runner leads toward a stage, where a woman in an orange sari stands at the left edge facing the crowd. Hundreds of seated participants wear white clothing and white headbands, sitting in rows on the floor with green palm fronds placed along the carpet edge. Ceiling fans and fluorescent lights hang overhead, red chairs line the back walls, and a projector sits on a table at the lower right. Several people stand near the rear stage area. Some participants wear yellow or orange shawls.
