A large crowd of devotees, mostly women with long dark hair and white or light-coloured saris, sits facing a stage under a tented pavilion. On the stage, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne-like seat before a red shrine niche holding a large deity murti with garlands, a trident and a kalasha-like setting. A video camera on a tripod films the stage, and a striped red-and-white railing lines the aisle. The scene suggests a morning satsang gathering.
