A seated audience of many people, mostly women in white and pastel saris and salwar kameez, sits on floor mats in a hall with a white tented ceiling and hanging lights. At the front, a woman in a white sari with an orange-red shawl stands beside a projector screen showing a blank white slide. On the right, a raised stage holds a large orange-draped seat, a microphone stand and flower vases, with a framed picture and a dark red curtain behind. A blue banner with a tiger-like emblem hangs on the wall. The scene suggests a seminar or session rather than a formal ritual.
