Night view inside a large open-sided tent hall with a white canopy, rows of ceiling fans and strings of lights on poles. Hundreds of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, with women in white and cream saris, stand facing a distant stage backed by a yellow and multicoloured decorated backdrop with a central figure and a small shrine-like arrangement. Several men in the foreground raise their arms in devotion while others stand in orderly rows. Most of the crowd is seated or standing in the middle distance, with a few figures in orange saris near the stage.
