Wide view inside a large white tent hall at a convention. Hundreds of seated attendees, mostly men, fill white plastic chairs facing a stage. Most wear white shirts or kurtas and white headbands or cloths over their heads, with some in orange or saffron garments. Colourful striped hanging pennants in red, yellow, blue and orange decorate the ceiling. A dark red curtain backs the stage, where a few figures in white stand near a small table. Framed photographs and banners line the side walls, one showing a figure with a white turban beside a banner.
