A few wear orange shawls or saffron wraps, and a boy in a dark blue shirt sits near the front. A video camera on a tripod stands at the left edge. Hanging decorative banners in yellow, orange and patterned fabric line the upper right, and metal scaffolding frames the stage area. Crowd size is large, with many people visible across the room.2006-10-21November 22 20052005-11-22 +1 copiesA large indoor hall filled with a dense crowd of seated devotees, mostly men, dressed in white shirts and white dhotis with lanyards around their necks. They sit on the floor facing forward toward a small distant stage at the far left, where a figure in orange and saffron robes is seated. The white tent-like ceiling is decorated with hanging orange, yellow and blue striped tassel banners. Windows with patterned grilles line the back wall, and a camera on a tripod is set up near the left side of the crowd. A small figure in saffron clothing on the distant stage is too far away for any clothing or ornament cues to be confirmed.2008-03-06February 16 20072007-02-16December 30 20062006-12-30December 29 20082008-12-29
