A large hall filled with a dense crowd of devotees seated on the floor and in red-cushioned chairs, most dressed in white and cream with some in gold and green saris. Many sit with their backs to the camera, facing a raised stage at the far end. The stage holds an ornate gold throne-like seat with floral decorations, and a large screen above shows a figure. Wall portraits and framed images line the upper walls. No individual can be clearly identified as a person from appearance, so no identification is made here.
