Wide photograph inside a large white marquee tent at night, showing a dense crowd of many hundreds seated on white plastic chairs, mostly in white and light-coloured clothing, with men in white shirts and dhotis and a few women in saris. A stage at the far end is decorated with a large backdrop of deity images and framed photographs, lit warmly, with a row of figures in orange and saffron seated before it and a standing figure in white at the centre near a microphone and speakers. Fabric draping covers the tent ceiling and strings of orange and red garlands hang along the poles. A person in a white turban sits in the right foreground.
