A photograph inside a large white tent hall with a red carpet runway down the centre. A standing figure seen from behind wears a long rust-brown robe and has very long, dark, matted hair falling to the waist, with bangles on the wrists; the figure is barefoot and walks toward an ornate gold-and-brown throne-style seat at the far end. Hundreds of seated devotees line both sides of the aisle, many with palms pressed together in anjali, dressed in white, saffron-orange and pink clothing, some wearing orange shawls. A tall golden trident stands near the throne and a large screen glows in the background, with striped festive bunting hanging from the tent top. The scene suggests a satsang or mandala-process gathering.
