Rows of plastic chairs are filled with devotees, mostly women in saris of pink, purple, orange and yellow, and men in white shirts and dhotis. Many attendees have hair in braids or buns and wear gold necklaces. Staff in white walk among the rows and along the back of the tent, and a stage backdrop with banners is visible in the distance. A satsang or spiritual gathering is suggested by the seating, though no specific ritual is clearly shown.
