A large indoor hall filled with a dense crowd of devotees seated on the floor, mostly women in white clothing with long braids, some with flowers in their hair. At the front, on a raised platform before a deep red curtain, a figure in orange and saffron robes sits in a white chair, speaking into a microphone. Yellow hanging lamps and white fans are visible, and colourful banners hang on the upper left wall. The speaker is a robed figure seated at the front; a clear appearance-based identification of a person is not sufficient, so the speaker is described by role only.
