A large festive hall under white draped ceiling with hanging colourful paper lanterns and streamers in red, yellow, green and orange. Hundreds of seated devotees fill the floor, many in white, saffron, blue, red and green saris and kurtas, sitting on mats in rows. At the far end a raised stage area holds a figure in an orange robe and a seated figure in white near a golden peetha, with two large screens showing the same scene. The image is a photograph of an event; the crowd is too dense and distant to count precisely.
