Wide photograph inside a large hall during a seated programme, with a crowd of hundreds of participants in white clothing sitting on the floor in rows, many with white head coverings. A man in white with an orange-saffron stole stands at the right near a tripod, apparently addressing the gathering, and a raised balcony with more people runs across the back wall. A red cloth-covered platform and a fan are in the foreground, and loudspeakers stand along the left side. a person's presence is not established by any clear appearance cue, so the standing figure is described only by role.
