Inside a large hall with a carpeted floor and recessed ceiling lights, a figure in an orange robe and orange turban walks down a red carpet runner between rows of chairs. Lines of people in white clothes stand on both sides with palms pressed together in namaste, greeting them. The men wear white shirts and light trousers, and the women wear white saris and white kurtas. The scene suggests a convention arrival, with the orange-clad figure at the centre of the aisle.
