A photograph of a large indoor convention hall with pale yellow walls, a balcony railing, and ceiling fans and fluorescent tubes overhead. Dense crowds of participants dressed almost entirely in white kurtas, dhotis and saris mill about and move with raised arms, some clasping hands and gesturing, while a few wear white lanyard badges.
