A large photograph of a crowded hall with a striped white and red tent-like ceiling hung with colourful tassel decorations and paper lanterns. Hundreds of seated participants fill the red-carpeted floor, many in white, orange and saffron clothing, with some bare-shouldered devotees. On a raised stage at the right, a red velvet curtain backs a white-and-red ornate throne, beside a trident. Several people stand near the stage, including a woman in a red sari and a man in white dhoti. Large screens show live video at the front and side.
