A woman in a teal sari and a face mask is seated at a desk in a classroom or office setting. She is looking towards the camera and is sitting on a red office chair behind a computer. The room has vertical blue and yellow blinds covering large windows, white walls, and tiled floors. There is a whiteboard on one wall, a few tables and chairs, and some computer equipment, including speakers and a monitor. A waste bin is visible on the floor, and a projection with partially visible text is displayed on the wall to the right. The overall atmosphere is quiet and academic.

Conference room with round tables covered in gold cloth and chairs draped in purple covers. Several people are seated at the tables, listening to a man in a wheelchair who is holding a microphone and speaking. A projector screen at the front displays a slide with a light blue background. There are banners and a whiteboard set up around the room, and daylight streams in through the window curtains. Bottled water is placed on each table. The atmosphere appears formal and attentive, suggesting a seminar or training session.

Conference room scene with multiple people standing. The room is set up with round tables covered with gold-colored tablecloths and chairs draped in bright purple covers. Most attendees are men, dressed in business or semi-formal attire, facing a presentation screen at the front of the room. On the screen, there’s a projected image of a lamp or candle. Bottled water and papers are on the tables, and the curtains are a brownish-gold color. The atmosphere appears formal, possibly during a moment of respect or attention at the beginning of an event or ceremony.

A woman writing on a large sheet of paper attached to a whiteboard stand. She is wearing a blue blouse and a sari, with her hair tied back. The room has golden yellow curtains and warm lighting. At the top of the sheet, it says "Workshop 03 Mannar." in English, and below that, there is text written in Tamil. The setting appears to be an indoor workshop or training session.
