Photograph from behind a large hall packed with seated devotees dressed in white, many wearing red and orange headbands or cloths tied around their heads. The audience faces a stage with a large golden deity murti and ornate gold-framed shrine. Side screens show a figure in saffron-coloured clothing. Dark red curtains and pillars frame the hall. A figure on the stage appears in a white and orange outfit, but the appearance is too uncertain for a firm identification. Several attendees sit in the foreground.
