A wide indoor hall with white walls and a sloped white ceiling, lined with colourful striped woven runners on the floor. Many men and women in white clothing fill the hall: some seated on the floor in rows at left, others standing and walking in the central aisle, several wearing lanyards with badges. Hanging from the ceiling are tall cylindrical decorations in red, yellow and patterned cloth. A small altar with white and red decorations is visible at the far end, and a purple banner is at upper right. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance here, so the figures are described by role and clothing only.
