A large white tented hall with a crowd of devotees seated on white plastic chairs facing a stage. Many attendees wear white shirts and dresses; a boy sits in the front left. Colourful striped and patterned hanging banners decorate the tent ceiling. On the stage, a deity murti or decorated figure sits in a lit green-and-yellow backdrop with potted palms, while a blue draped stage with a banner reading 'Jayanti 2008' holds seated performers, one in saffron clothing, apparently conducting a ritual or satsang. Lights hang overhead and the event is a darshan-style gathering.
