Indoor hall with a thatched roof, exposed rafters, ceiling fans and tube lights, and white walls with orange curtains at the back. A standing crowd of devotees in white clothes, some in white sarees and dhotis, others wearing orange scarves, is clapping with hands together. Many have their feet bare on the orange-brown tiled floor, and mats are laid out. At the right, a woman in white with an orange shawl stands at a raised platform holding a microphone, apparently leading the group. A small orange-shawled child stands in the foreground beside a woman in a rust-coloured kurta. No a person candidate is visibly present; the leader is a woman and no figure has the cues needed for identification.
