A wide photograph inside a white tented hall showing rows of seated devotees on the floor eating from banana-leaf plates set with flowers, fruit and small cups. Most seated people wear white or cream clothing, with some women in orange or red borders. A long central aisle runs between the rows, and a standing man in an orange dhoti with an orange shawl and long hair walks down the middle, with a crown-like headpiece visible to the rear. Several attendants in white and orange move between the rows. Colourful woven hangings with elephant motifs decorate the tent poles, and a stage with a dark curtain and blue draping sits at the back.

A photograph inside a large white tent hung with colourful striped and patterned decorative banners. Rows of seated devotees sit on the floor eating a meal from green banana-leaf plates set with small piles of food and cups, many wearing white and cream clothes, with some in orange and saffron. Several standing attendants in white and orange walk along the central aisle between the rows, one in saffron robes, and a figure in white with a red shawl stands near the centre. A stage with blue draping and a dark backdrop is visible at the far end, with speakers and a camera on a tripod at the sides.
