Night view from the back of a large white tent filled with rows of seated devotees on red and white plastic chairs, facing a lit stage at the far end. The stage backdrop is a painted decorative panel with a central figure, and several people sit on the stage near floral arrangements and a red carpet runs down the centre aisle. Hanging blue signboards and striped tent poles line the sides, and the white canvas ceiling is lit warmly. A tiny figure in a saffron-coloured dress stands at the stage centre; the figure is too small and distant for appearance-based identification, so the a person field is unsure. The crowd fills most of the frame, including people in saffron and cream clothing in the foreground.
