A large hall viewed from the back of a seated audience of several hundred people, many sitting cross-legged on a patterned carpet. In the centre front, a standing figure in a rust-brown robe holds a tall ceremonial staff topped with an ornament, facing the crowd. Two large screens on the rear wall show a similar gathering. Attendees wear saffron, yellow, white and striped clothing, saris and lanyards. The room has dark wood-panelled walls and a dark ceiling. The figure appears to be a speaker or presenter; the staff suggests a ceremonial role.
