Photograph of a large indoor hall during a seated gathering. Hundreds of devotees dressed in white sit in rows of white plastic chairs and on the floor, facing a raised stage at the far end. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits on a white-draped seat with a garland, appearing to address the assembly; the figure's appearance is not clearly distinguishable at this resolution. Dark red drapery hangs behind the stage, with orange and yellow tassel decorations and a colourful patterned banner hanging from the ceiling tent frame. Small side tables display framed pictures near the stage. Lighting is dim, and a sound and camera rig is visible at the left edge.

Wide view from the back of a large tented hall filled with rows of white plastic chairs and seated audience members, mostly in white clothes, with a few in blue and pink. Yellow aisle lines run down the concrete floor toward a raised stage at the far end, where a small figure in orange and white sits at a central dais beside a lectern. Decorative woven hanging banners with geometric patterns line the tent poles, and a framed circular emblem hangs on the stage wall. Stage lights hang overhead and draped black backdrop curtains frame the stage. Large portrait banners of women flank the sides of the tent.
