A large crowd of devotees fills a tented hall decorated with yellow draped fabric, red curtains and colourful painted pillars hanging from the ceiling. Many devotees wear white kurtas, orange and saffron clothing, and rudraksha malas; several have hands folded in prayer or raised high. Most people in the foreground are holding up phones to film or photograph. A large screen at the front shows a figure seated on an ornate throne against a blue backdrop, and a framed portrait of a bearded man in a crown-like headdress is visible at right. Stage lighting and cameras are in use.
