A large crowd of devotees fills a white tented hall during a convention. Most people wear white or pastel saris and salwar kameez in orange, yellow, green, blue and pink, and many stand with hands clasped in prayer. A blue stage backdrop is decorated with a row of orange lotus-like motifs and framed photographs. A small yellow notepad and a black book sit on the blue-draped platform edge in the foreground. Overhead fans and lights hang from the white canopy.
