Most men wear white dhotis and shirts with red or orange shawls and rudraksha-style beaded malas around their necks. Several men in front have vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Portrait posters of saints hang on the back walls beside red curtains and wall-mounted air conditioners. A few people wear saffron-orange garments among the crowd.2015-02-17 +1 copiesAugust 24 20142014-08-24July 31 20152015-07-31February 13 20182018-02-13A large seated congregation of men fills a hall with white walls and framed pictures, most wearing white dhotis and shirts and sitting cross-legged on the floor.
