A large crowd of devotees sits on white plastic chairs under a white tent with a deep blue backdrop, decorated with orange and yellow paper flowers. Many women in sarees and salwar kameez in red, teal, white and orange fill the rows, some wearing glasses and braided hair. Framed portraits in a row along the back wall show a bearded figure in white-and-saffron garments; the faces are too small to assess, so no identity is asserted. Pillars and overhead fans are visible at the edges of the tent.
