Large indoor photo of a dense crowd seated on the floor of a white tent hall during the Kalpataru convention at Adi Kailasa. Most attendees wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, some with lanyards, seated closely in rows. A stage at the far end has a painted backdrop of a deity and a figure in orange robes stands near it, with a cameraman filming in the foreground aisle. Striped decorative hangings in red, yellow and blue hang from the tent ceiling beside lights. A candidate figure in orange robes is visible near the stage, but the appearance is too uncertain to confirm identity.
