A large tented hall filled with a dense crowd of seated devotees, many women in colourful saris and salwar kameez and men in white kurtas, facing a raised central stage. On the stage a seated figure in orange-saffron robes with a red-and-gold headwrap sits on a white throne with a red cushion, holding a ritual object, flanked by two video cameras on tripods. Ceiling hangs with rows of colourful tassel lanterns and paper decorations, and screens show a projected image at the sides. Looks like a discourse or satsang gathering.
