A busy indoor hall with plastic chairs and many open cardboard boxes stacked on a red-carpeted floor, filled with books, magazines and bottled items. Two men in white shirts and white trousers stand in the centre, one holding a bundle of printed material. A woman in a white sari with a green blouse sits at left, and other women in white saris are seated among the cartons. Tables along the right hold stacks of books and publications, and a tall shelf displays booklets. A large poster on the left shows a robed figure with long hair, but the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance. Several handwritten signs are taped to the walls, and a 'SILENCE PLEASE' notice sits on a wrapped bundle.
