A photograph of an evening darshan programme in a white tented hall decorated with hanging multicoloured fabric banners. Dozens of devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on striped green, pink and blue mats facing a raised stage at the far end. On the left, a seated figure in orange and red robes sits on a decorated throne framed by a garland arch of orange and yellow flowers. On the right stage, musicians sit on a blue-draped platform and two performers in yellow and orange costume stand beside them, while the seated figure's face is too small and indistinct to confirm appearance. Several people in white sit near the stage edge and a camera on a tripod is set up at the side.
