A very large seated congregation fills a tented hall with red carpeting, most wearing white dhotis and white kurta-style clothes, many with orange or saffron shawls and sashes. Several bald and grey-haired men sit in the foreground, with some wearing rudraksha beads. On the far stage, two tall silver trishula standards flank a decorated dais with a deity murti and red-and-pink floral arrangements, and two large screens show a figure in red. Many people are seated in rows, so the crowd is best described as very large and dense.
