Most attendees wear white, with some in saffron, orange, teal and maroon saris and kurtas. A woman in an orange sari with a lanyard stands near the left aisle. A video camera on a tripod films the crowd at right, and a green carpet and red runner lead toward the front. Large banners with portraits hang on the back walls, but no individual figure can be confirmed as a person from this distance.
