A photograph of a large seated assembly of devotees dressed in white, many with palms pressed together in greeting, filling a covered open hall with a corrugated roof. In the centre, a person standing in white clothes with a long saffron-orange shawl draped over the shoulders holds a video camera and faces the seated crowd. Their long, swept-back hair and saffron wrap are visible cues, but the appearance is only partly clear. Colourful cylindrical decorative banners hang from the ceiling, and a small woman in a sari stands near the back wall. Windows and a blue-and-white banner appear along the far wall.
