A large indoor hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees on red carpet, most wearing white headbands tied over their eyes. Women dominate, wearing white, cream, and coloured saris and salwar kameez in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Many sit cross-legged with hands resting in their laps, some holding small plastic bags and water bottles. Red chairs line the back wall, and white-clad figures stand near the stage at the rear. A small camera rig is visible on the right side. Some faces are partly visible; the crowd is too dense to count individually.
