A photo of a discourse hall with a large audience seated on blue plastic chairs in rows, many in white shirts, some wearing headphones. At the front a figure in orange robes sits on a raised golden throne-like seat beneath a framed picture backdrop, with a blank projection screen beside it. A glass display case stands at left and a decorated pillar with colourful beads at right. A corrugated metal roof with exposed steel trusses covers the hall. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so the role is given as a seated speaker in orange robes.
