Wide view inside a large white tent with a red carpeted central aisle between metal barricades, leading to a gilded ornate stage. On the stage sits a golden throne-like canopy with a deity murti in red and gold dress and a second adorned figure beside it. Dozens of seated devotees in white and colourful saris and shirts fill plastic chairs and blue chairs on both sides. A cameraman with a boom arm and a man in white kurta stand near the aisle, and a few people in white move about the stage area. The stage is draped in red cloth with speakers placed along its front edge.

Two large screens on either side show live feeds of the crowd. Camera operators and crew stand near the aisle, and a banner on the right shows a small Tamil-language sign. The scene suggests a satsang or puja gathering in a temple-style pavilion, with a seated presenter near the shrine.2013-04-21A large white tent hall filled with seated devotees on rows of blue and beige plastic chairs, most men in white shirts and dhotis, with women in saris on the right.
