A large white tent hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees in white and pastel saris and dhotis, sitting on striped cotton mats on the floor. Colourful decorative hanging panels with elephant motifs line the tent ceiling. At the front, a raised stage with red, orange and blue backdrops holds an ornate golden throne-like seat and a deity murti with a garlanded figure seated before it. Several white-clad attendants stand near the stage, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at right among the crowd. The scene reflects a Kalpataru darshan gathering at an ashram.
