Two large printed posters hang on the wall: one shows a smiling woman with long dark hair in an orange top with a mala, and the other shows a figure in a white head covering and white robe seen from above. A health chart with a blue human figure hangs to the right. About sixteen people, adults and children, sit and stand in rows. Adults in saris and shirts sit at center; children in colourful dresses, shirts and shorts sit on the floor in front. A television sits on a small table at right. A poster labelled with a name is not clearly legible, so no caption is quoted.
