A figure in orange robes sits with palms pressed together on a white throne-like chair at the far end, with a small vase of flowers beside it. Dozens of seated participants face the stage, many in white clothes and wearing white headbands tied across their foreheads, with some in orange, red and green saris and a few in darker outfits. Audio speakers and a few bags are visible on the floor.
