A large crowd fills a tented hall decorated with hanging multicolour paper lanterns and streamers. At the centre, a bare-chested man with a red and gold turban, a gold necklace and a long rudraksha mala sits on a raised ornate throne-like seat, flanked by a lion-like carved figure, with a trident visible at the right edge. Two large screens show projected imagery on either side. Around him, a dense audience in saffron, yellow, pink, white and blue clothing sits and stands on the floor, many in white ritual dress. Flower garlands and devotional atmosphere suggest a darshan or satsang gathering. The visible man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, seated in the most prominent position with the crown-like turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace as cues.
