A wide photograph of a large indoor tent-hall gathering with many seated people in white clothes. Colourful cylindrical fabric banners with elephant motifs hang from the white tent ceiling under bright lights. At the far end, a small raised red stage holds a figure in orange robes seated before a red drape, with a white-clad attendant beside it. In the foreground, a man in white with an orange shawl holds papers and a microphone stand, next to a woman in a light pink sari. Several seated musicians in white play drums and percussion on white mats along the left, and rows of devotees in white and orange sit on red carpeting. The congregation fills the hall, and the crowd is clearly over one hundred people.
