A large indoor hall with pale pink walls and rows of seated devotees on blue-striped and orange mats. Most attendees wear white kurtas or robes, with some in light blue, grey and green shirts. Many sit cross-legged with hands on knees; some have rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Colourful striped banners hang from the ceiling and the windows are bright. Several people in the foreground are shaved-headed men in white, and a few women in saris and salwar kameez sit further back. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is asserted.
