A photograph of a large hall with a white ceiling and hanging decorative banners with colourful patterned tassels. Rows of seated devotees fill the floor on yellow and green striped mats. Most wear white clothes, while some wear yellow, orange and saffron tones; a few women sit in front in cream and yellow garments and carry handbags. A tripod-mounted video camera stands at the right near the stage area, and a figure in white stands near the front of the hall. No clearly identifiable a person is visible, so the figure at the front is described only by role. Blurred foreground heads and bags fill the lower frame.
