A large hall with a red carpet floor filled with hundreds of seated delegates, mostly women in white and coloured saris and salwar kameez, all wearing white blindfold-style cloth bands over their eyes. Each sits before a small plate with flowers, fruit and sweets, and several hold or rest beside water bottles and cloth tote bags. Strings of small decorative flags and pink and white draping hang from the ceiling, with exhibition stalls and banners visible along the back wall. The setting reads as a large convention session with participants in a closed-eye meditative sitting. No speaker or throne is clearly visible in this frame.
