A large indoor hall packed with hundreds of seated women and some men in white and coloured saris and salwar kameez, many with long dark braids and gold necklaces, sitting in rows on a mat floor and writing on paper. A stage backdrop of pale drapery and a blue banner hangs behind them, with framed portraits of a bearded, turbaned sannyasi on the wall and a small hanging photo panel in the upper left. Crowd is dense, so the count is well above one hundred.
