A photograph taken from the back of a dim, open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof, looking toward a stage at the far end. Dense rows of seated devotees, mostly in white clothes, fill the foreground, with many heads and shoulders visible. On the stage, a richly decorated deity murti stands before pink drapes and a garlanded backdrop, with flower arrangements and a lit lamp in front. Tall garlands hang along the left wall and a seated figure in saffron-coloured clothing sits near the left side of the stage. Loudspeakers are mounted on the walls and ceiling, and framed printed panels line the walls. The scene suggests a puja or satsang in progress.
