Indoor hall filled with seated people in white shirts and white headbands, many wearing name badges, arranged in rows of white plastic chairs. A standing figure in an orange-saffron robe walks down the central aisle over a yellow mat. Behind the rows, banners and posters hang along the back wall, and a row of people in white stands on a raised area near the ceiling line. Ceiling fans and round lights hang above, and a black speaker stands at the right edge beside a draped red-and-yellow stage. The orange-robed figure is the only person clearly in saffron; the printed banners carry portrait photos and Tamil-script text.
