A large white tent hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees dressed mostly in white, facing a raised red-carpeted stage. In the foreground stands a tall brass oil lamp (deepam) on the red stage. On the right, an ornate gold-and-red throne with a gold lion-form armrest and a garland of flowers hangs at its side; a figure seated on the throne wears an orange-and-saffron garland and head covering, but appearance cues are too limited to confirm identity. Electronic monitors and cables sit near the stage edge, and ceiling lights and fans are visible above.
