Wide view from the back of a large metal-framed hall filled with rows of white plastic chairs and hundreds of seated attendees, mostly women in colourful saris and salwar kameez alongside men in white shirts. At the far end a raised stage is decorated with red and cream draped valances, orange pillars and a large banner reading Kalpuru; a figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a seat on the stage, though the appearance is too small to judge. Overhead lights and speaker boxes are visible at the sides.
