A large photograph of a crowded tented hall with a red carpet and rows of white plastic chairs filled with seated devotees in white and orange-red clothing. Overhead hang many colourful tassel decorations and small oil lamps. A central standing figure wears a reddish-brown robe, a long rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with a tilak on the forehead and long dark hair; this is a visible figure with a compatible presentation, so the appearance-based label applies: a person, standing before the seated crowd. Two large screens flank the back of the tent. Many devotees have their hands folded in prayer. The crowd appears to number well over a hundred people.
