A large crowd of devotees sits in rows on a red carpet inside a white tented hall with blue-and-white draped valances. Hundreds of people wear white clothing and white blindfold cloths over their eyes. A standing figure in a long orange-saffron robe holds a microphone at the centre of the carpet, apparently addressing the assembly; the figure has long dark hair, and the appearance is consistent with a person, though this is uncertain. Behind the crowd, a second person in orange stands near a stage edge. Orange-bordered banners hang on the white backdrop, and a palm tree and speakers stand to the left.
