Wide view of a large indoor hall with a metal-truss roof and white walls, filled with hundreds of seated devotees in white clothing and white head coverings, with many also in orange, yellow and saffron garments. Rows of people sit on a grey floor mat facing a raised stage at the far end, where a red carpet runs up steps toward a central figure in white. Speaker cabinets, a keyboard, cables and audio equipment stand in the foreground, and a purple backdrop hangs behind the stage. The crowd is far too large and distant to count individually.
