A large seated audience fills a white tented hall with red floor mats and rows of colourful paper lanterns and tassels hanging from the ceiling. Hundreds of devotees sit cross-legged, many in white kurtas and off-white clothing with red-and-brown rudraksha malas, while some wear orange, yellow and maroon. A bearded white-haired man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala sits in the centre foreground, and a young boy sits at the bottom edge. Three large screens at the back show a bearded figure in saffron-and-red robes with a crown-like headpiece and a trident. Cameras stand at the upper right, and bags and water bottles lie on the floor.
