A photograph of a large white tent hall during an evening gathering. A long line of mostly older men in white shirts and white dhotis stands along white mats, with some in saffron-coloured shawls. A young boy in an orange shirt sits on the mat in the foreground, and a man in a white shirt and gold bracelet stands at left. Tall decorative pillars with colourful patterned fabric hang from the tent ceiling, and red and yellow bunting runs along the top. Banners and framed photographs line the back wall, including a large portrait of a long-haired figure in a red garment, a sign reading as the banner. Several people sit cross-legged on the right side of the hall.
