A large photograph inside a white tented hall where a crowd of many hundreds of devotees sits and stands in rows, almost all wearing white blindfolds or white head bands over their eyes. Many wear white clothes and some wear rudraksha or beaded necklaces. Hanging from the tent ceiling are long vertical banners in yellow, blue and red with printed elephant motifs. Behind them stands a white wall with a clock and a small raised stage area where a figure in orange-red clothing stands near the back. Several staff in white stand along the sides.
