Many devotees sit cross-legged on the floor in white kurtas and dhotis, saffron and orange shawls and scarves, and rudraksha malas.

Most attendees wear white clothing, with some in orange, red and green shawls, and many have rudraksha beads around their necks. Several sit with hands in anjali mudra or eyes closed in meditation, while others sit upright on chairs and mats facing the front. On the rear wall hangs a framed image of a deity murti, and a small satsang-style gathering is taking place. Dozens of people are visible in the frame, including partially visible figures at the edges.
