A large crowd of devotees sits closely packed on the floor of a tented hall, most wearing white clothes, with some in orange or maroon shawls. Many have long dark hair in braids or buns, and several wear glasses. A bright stage light glows near the top centre, and a figure in white stands at the far stage area. Strings of hanging lanterns with colourful panels and pink draped fabric decorate the tent, with framed images along the back wall.
