Wide view inside a white tent pavilion during an evening darshan at a 2008 Brahmotsava event. Many devotees in white clothes sit on chairs and mats facing a raised stage. On the stage at the far end, a figure in orange robes sits on a throne-like seat framed by a floral garland arch, with several orange-robed attendants seated nearby. To the right, a blue-draped stage holds seated musicians and two large decorated figures standing. Colourful striped and patterned banners hang from the tent ceiling. A camera is visible on a tripod at the left edge. The seated figure on the throne has long swept-back hair and orange clothing, but the appearance is not certain enough to name him.
