A large audience of several hundred devotees sits cross-legged on the floor of a tented hall, most dressed in white with cream or saffron shawls and rudraksha-style beads, some in pink or orange saris. Colourful hanging banners with patterned fabric decorate the ceiling, and bright lights shine through the high windows. The room is dim, and the front area is lined with people seated in rows facing forward toward an unseen stage, with no visible speaker or a person in the frame.
