A photograph inside a large tented hall with a white canopy and hanging decorative banners with colourful patterns. A man stands at the left on a raised platform wearing a white turban, a white long-sleeved kurta and white dhoti, clapping his hands with long hair visible. Flower petals in red and yellow are scattered on a white draped platform beside him, and a red-and-gold ceremonial umbrella and brass lamps stand at the left edge. A crowd of devotees fills the hall, many women in white saris with orange shawls, and men in white and dark clothes, many with arms raised and hands clapped in devotion. A woman in the foreground wearing an orange shawl over a white sari smiles as she claps.
