A large tented hall filled with a dense crowd seated on the floor and in red chairs, facing a raised dais. A figure with a long-haired, bearded appearance and an orange-and-saffron robe sits on a red-cushioned seat at the front, appearing to address the assembly; this appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable), seated on the dais. Two attendants in white dhoti-style clothing stand near the dais, one with a shawl. Colourful hanging festoons and paper lanterns decorate the ceiling, and screens on either side show a bearded figure in a pink-and-orange turban. Many devotees wear white, saffron and pink, and some sit in front with their backs to the camera.
