A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a tented hall decorated with colourful paper lanterns and tassels hanging from the ceiling. In the centre, a man with a swept-back dark hairstyle and an orange-red turban stands on a raised golden seat or platform, wearing orange-red clothing, layered beaded necklaces and a ceremonial gold chain, with a trident standing nearby. Many people in white and saffron clothing surround him, and two large screens behind the stage show live video. Some attendees raise their hands.
