A hall with a white-walled interior and a metal roof truss hosts a seated gathering on striped woven mats. Dozens of people sit facing a low stage backed by a large black cloth bearing a golden portrait of a turbaned man with a moustache. On the stage a figure in white with an orange shawl sits behind a microphone at a white chair. Two standing figures in white and orange are at the right side of the stage, and children in mixed clothes fill the front rows.
