A large white-floored hall with a draped white ceiling and hanging coloured banners fills the frame. Thirty to forty boys sit cross-legged on the floor in rows facing a distant stage, many in black or grey t-shirts and shorts; one boy near the front has a white forehead mark. A small group of people in saffron and orange robes sits near the far stage area, and a projection screen and maroon curtains frame the back wall. Water bottles and a white-draped table sit at the left edge.
