A seated group of devotees fills a tiled hall with a thatched roof and white walls, sitting on orange mats with blue-and-purple woven runners. Most wear white kurtas or white clothing with lanyard badges and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, and many clap with hands raised in unison. Several women in white saris and salwar sit among them. At the front right, a standing speaker in an orange vest and white garment holds a microphone and addresses the room, with orange drapes and a stage behind and a water dispenser on a side table. Two small printed booklets lie on the floor near the front row.
