A photograph of a seated audience inside a decorated tent at night, lit by a single hanging light and a stand lamp. Rows of white plastic and dark chairs hold many devotees, most in white or cream traditional dress, some with orange shawls. On the right, a raised dais draped in orange and red fabric holds a golden-brown seat with a zebra-striped cloth and a marigold garland, with a figure in white robes and a flower garland seated upon it. A blue-draped table with garland swags sits beside the dais. The scene is dim, with a patterned tent wall behind the crowd.
