A large outdoor convention tent holds a dense crowd, many hundreds of people seated on red mats wearing white clothes and white blindfolds tied across their eyes. Near the centre a standing figure in a long orange-saffron robe holds a microphone and addresses the seated crowd. Further right, another person in orange robes stands on a raised platform at the edge of the stage. Behind them hang white tent walls, a palm tree and stage lights, with three banners on the back wall showing a woman's portrait over orange text. The scene is crowded enough that exact counting is impractical.
