A large tented hall with a white canopy and hanging colourful cylindrical banners decorated with geometric patterns. A raised stage at the centre holds an ornate white and gold shrine with arched canopies and floral motifs, where several figures in white and saffron sit near a deity murti. Seated devotees fill the floor in front on striped mats, most in white clothing, with women in saffron, red, yellow and pink saris. Some men in white stand along the left side of the hall, and a loudspeaker stands at the upper right. The scene appears to be a darshan or puja gathering.
