A large crowd of seated devotees fills a tented pavilion, facing a lit stage at night. Most people sit on white plastic chairs, many in white or light clothing, with one figure in an orange-striped shirt at the right edge. On the stage, a row of figures in orange and saffron garments sits behind a decorated backdrop with framed portraits and a garland-draped platform, while a standing person in white stands near the stage edge. Pink and white fabric drapes the tent walls, and a red-and-white striped rope runs along the left pole.
