A hall with a thatched roof and white walls holds a small seated group of women in white clothes listening to a speaker. Most attendees sit on striped mats on the tiled floor, some on white plastic chairs, several holding books. A woman in white with a long braid sits on a white chair at right, speaking into a microphone on a stand. A standing figure in white stands at the back near a whiteboard with diagrams. Orange curtains hang at the windows. No one wears saffron or a visible crown, and the speaker's appearance does not support identifying a specific person, so the speaker is recorded only by role.
