A large photograph of a packed convention hall with a crowd of several hundred seated devotees, mostly on chairs and floor mats facing a stage. Many wear orange, saffron and red shawls, and some wear white kurtas or pale clothes; a few women wear pink saris and flower hair decorations. Wide screens flank the stage, a golden lion-shaped throne or seat is visible at right, and a ceremonial trident stands near it. A woman in the foreground looks off to the side, another rests her head on her arms, and several devotees sit with hands folded.
