A large indoor hall packed with seated devotees, nearly all wearing orange-tinted goggle-style eyewear, sitting on red floor mats in rows. Many wear white, pastel or saffron clothing; some have shaved heads. Colourful paper lanterns and tassels hang from the ceiling, and white draped curtains and red pillars frame the room. A large screen at the back shows a crowd photo. A man in white, seated near the front-centre, has a shaved head. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.
