A large tented hall filled with a dense crowd of seated devotees facing a raised central seat. A man with a long beard and a red-and-gold turban sits on an ornate throne-like seat in the middle, wearing a saffron-orange and red garment and a shawl, with a Swamiji (probable) appearance based on the turban, beard and saffron-toned robes. Devotees in white, orange, yellow and pink clothing sit on the floor and in blue chairs, many with hands folded. Above them hang rows of colourful striped tassels and decorated paper lanterns or kalasha-style ornaments from the white canopy, and large screens line the back walls.
