Wide photograph of a large auditorium during a convention. On the left, a woman in a red sari and dark hair stands on a wooden stage edge, one arm raised toward the audience. Rows of seated attendees fill the hall; many men wear white dhotis and shirts, some wear white headbands, and several hold small lit items. Tiered balconies above are packed with more people, and wall panels of wood and glass frame the room. A partially visible figure in white sits at the lower left edge near the stage.
