A wide hall under a white tented ceiling hung with colourful tasselled banners, with a large projection screen on the left showing text slides. Long rows of seated people in saffron and orange robes face a long table draped in red, where many robed figures sit behind name placards and water bottles. A large banner in red and orange reads Anandotsava 2010 and shows a saffron-robed figure with a crown and long hair. Seated musicians on orange cloth play drums and harmonium at the left edge, and orange cloth bundles are stacked near the screen. Several people in white and saffron sit in the foreground, one bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and a shaved head, and many more are seated in rows across the hall.
