A large crowd of women seated on the floor of a covered hall, dressed mostly in white and cream saris with coloured borders, many with lanyards around their necks. They are gathered in rows facing a red-carpeted stage edged with a strip of white flower petals and garlands. Several women raise their hands in the air or press palms together, and a few children sit among them in front. White plastic chairs are stacked along the back, under blue draped fabric, hanging lights and a speaker tower. The atmosphere suggests a devotional gathering or discourse, though no specific ritual is clearly visible.
