Many seated devotees wear white clothes, and several women wear saris in blue, green, pink and red with long braids. Figures in saffron-orange robes sit near the shrine, and standing attendants in dark uniforms line the sides. Colourful striped canopies and a trident-topped pole frame the area.

Warm lights and gold panels frame the stage.2015-07-31Night gathering of a large crowd seated and standing in front of a temple-like stage, with a lit string of green lights overhead. Most seated women wear white saris with orange-bordered cloth, some in blue, teal, green and orange saris, many with rudraksha or beaded malas and tilak marks; several men in white shirts stand at the back.
