A photograph of a large tented hall during a Jayanti Brahmotsavam ceremony. Many devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on mats in rows, facing a raised stage at the far end. Colourful cylindrical hanging banners with elephant motifs hang from the white tent ceiling. On the stage, an ornate gold throne with flowers beside it, and a small group of figures in orange and saffron robes are seated near a table.
