A large tented hall with white draped ceiling and hanging colourful tassels hosts a seated assembly of devotees in orange and saffron robes. A woman in an orange sari stands at a wooden podium on the left, speaking into a microphone. Behind her a long table draped in red and green cloth seats more orange-clad participants, and a banner reads Anandotsavam. Rows of white-shirted attendees and monastics fill the centre, and a backdrop with photographs lines the far wall. A camera on a tripod stands near the right side of the hall. Many people are visible, mostly seated.
