A large hall with a white fabric ceiling and colourful hanging cloth tubes hosts a seated assembly on orange mats with purple borders. Hundreds of people, mostly men and women in white clothing, sit cross-legged facing a raised blue-covered stage at the far end. On the stage, several people in white and orange sit before a backdrop banner showing a portrait and the words Anandotsara. A camera on a tripod films the proceedings, and a large screen hangs at the right.
