A large tented hall with a concrete floor and yellow floor markings holds a crowd of devotees seated on red mats in rows, mostly dressed in white with some saffron and green garments. Colourful painted cylindrical banners hang from the white tent ceiling. At the right, a figure in an orange-red garment sits before a decorated altar with a swastika-marked backdrop and a fire-related ritual setup, while a standing person in white with an orange shawl holds a microphone near the front. A video camera on a tripod films the gathering. Whether the central ritual figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the figure is described by role only.
