A large white-canopied tent filled with rows of seated devotees on plastic chairs, mostly in red and white, on a red and green floor covering. At the far end a small stage shows a decorated backdrop and a central dais with a figure in white standing beside an ornate seat. Black speakers flank the tent and blue banners hang along the sides. Many attendees wear saris in orange, pink and yellow, and some men wear white shirts and dhotis. The scene resembles a satsang or discourse gathering.

The stage backdrop is a painted decorative panel with a central figure, and several people sit on the stage near floral arrangements and a red carpet runs down the centre aisle. Hanging blue signboards and striped tent poles line the sides, and the white canvas ceiling is lit warmly. A tiny figure in a saffron-coloured dress stands at the stage centre; the figure is too small and distant for appearance-based identification, so the a person field is unsure. The crowd fills most of the frame, including people in saffron and cream clothing in the foreground.2008-12-30December 31 20082008-12-31Photograph of a large evening gathering under a white tent with a pale draped ceiling and string lights.
