Large crowd of seated devotees in white clothing fills a white tent-covered hall during a Kalpataru class in Thiruvannamalai. Most attendees wear white shirts and dhotis or white salwar-style outfits, with a few in coloured clothes, including one woman in an orange-pink top near the front. Blue, yellow and red draped fabric decorates the side walls, and speakers and stage lights hang from the tent frame. A man in white stands near the left stage area beside a sound equipment case, and another figure stands at the far end near the stage. No clearly identifiable speaker can be confidently picked out, so the central figure's identity remains uncertain.
