A large crowd of mostly men in white shirts and dhotis fills a white-roofed tent, seated on white plastic chairs and the red carpet at the front. On the stage at the far end, a small figure in saffron-coloured clothing sits near a dais, a large framed image stands beside a golden ornamented deity-style chair, and blue drapes frame the backdrop. Loudspeakers stand at the sides of the tent. The scene looks like a seated discourse or satsang audience.
