A large photograph of a vast white marquee filled with a dense, seated crowd facing a distant stage at the far end. Rows of black plastic chairs hold devotees, most in white clothing with orange-red shawls or sashes draped over their shoulders, while some women wear bright saffron, pink, green and orange saris. Strings of colourful tassel-like hanging decorations and small lamps fill the ceiling. At the right edge a gilded ornate throne or palanquin stands beside potted plants. The stage area contains a lectern and backdrop. No individual face is clearly identifiable at this distance, and no one is clearly identified as the a person.
