A large crowd of devotees fills a festively decorated tent hall with a red-curtained stage at the far end. Overhead, many colourful hanging decorations and paper lanterns in red, orange, green and yellow line the white ceiling. Most people stand facing the stage, some with raised arms, while others sit on white chairs and on red floor mats in the foreground. Attendees wear white kurtas, saffron and orange saris, teal and blue salwar kameez, and a few wear rudraksha or flower garlands. Two large screens on the stage show a figure, and a video camera on a tripod is at the left edge.
