Interior of a large hall during an evening discourse, with the audience seated on white plastic chairs and on striped mats on the floor, facing a raised stage at the far end. Many women in white and pastel kurtas, salwar and sarees fill the rows, several with long dark hair, one with a grey bun in white. Colourful yellow and multicolour banners hang from the ceiling, and a camera on a tripod records the stage. The speaker is small and distant on the platform, too far to describe in detail; no identity is claimed from appearance.
