A large tented hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, many wearing orange-red shawls and orange garlands, sitting on a red carpet. Strings of multicoloured lanterns hang from the tent ceiling. At the far end, a stage holds a golden deity murti with trishul-shaped standards on either side, and screens on both sides show a figure in red. The crowd is dense, numbering well over a hundred, and no individual on stage can be clearly identified from appearance, so no a person candidate is described.
