Photograph inside a large white marquee tent at a convention, lit by ceiling lights and fans. A dense crowd of men in white shirts and white dhotis stands on red carpet with hands raised and palms pressed together in devotion. Several wear white shirts printed with the word Dhyanapeetam on the back. A tripod-mounted camera stands in the foreground beside a metal pole, and banners and framed pictures hang along the far side of the tent. No single presiding figure is clearly identifiable in the frame.
