A large indoor hall with a white draped ceiling hung with rows of colourful paper lanterns and tassels in orange, red, yellow and green. Hundreds of seated attendees fill the floor on striped rugs and mats, many women in saris and salwar kameez in red, orange, blue and purple, some wearing white shawls and head coverings, with bags and water bottles placed beside them. Several large screens at the front and sides show slides and video, and a camera operator stands on a raised platform at the left. The scene resembles a satsang or discourse audience. No speaker is visible on stage, and no individual can be identified as a person.
