A large hall with a dark maroon curtain backdrop. Two long rows of seated devotees face a central aisle, with men in white dhotis and white shirts on the left and women in white saris with yellow borders on the right, all with palms pressed together in prayer. Banana leaf plates with food and small paper cups line the aisle. A lit oil lamp stands on a low wooden tray at the centre. At the far end, a figure in orange robes sits on an orange throne-style chair beneath a framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure, with incense smoke rising. The figure on the throne has long dark hair and orange clothing, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
