A large crowd of devotees sits cross-legged on striped floor mats inside a white tent pavilion decorated with hanging colourful cylindrical banners in yellow, blue and red. Most seated people wear white or pale clothing. At the front, a raised altar is decorated with green and gold lighting and a central figure seated in red on an ornate throne-like seat, flanked by candles. On the right, a stage with a blue draped backdrop bears the printed word Paramahamsa and a banner reading Brahmotsav 2008, where people in white sit on a dais. Dozens to hundreds of people fill the hall, all facing the stage.
