A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a tent hall hung with colourful paper lanterns and tassels, facing a raised red-cushioned throne at left. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes, with a trident-topped stand nearby, sits on the throne, appearing to address the gathering; the figure's appearance is consistent with the page's cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing. Attendees wear saris, kurtas and white clothes, many with folded hands or seated cross-legged. Camera operators on a raised platform film at right, and a banner partly shows a decorated backdrop.
