Large outdoor convention hall with a white tarpaulin backdrop and a palm tree at left. Hundreds of seated participants wear white blindfolds and white clothing, sitting on red carpet aisles. A figure in a saffron-orange robe stands at centre, arms raised, addressing the crowd; the robe and outfit are the most visible cues, with no clear distinctive presentation to confirm identity. Another saffron-robed figure stands at right near a stage. Two large orange-toned banners with portrait photos and text hang on the back wall, with cardboard boxes stacked beside the stage.
