A crowded indoor hall filled with seated devotees, mostly women in colourful saris and men in white shirts and dhotis. A standing man in a checked short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti stands centrally with arms folded, near an open doorway with green frames. Stacked metal chairs or plates lie against the back wall beneath faded white walls with barred windows. Many attendees in yellow, pink, green and blue saris watch attentively. Nothing in the frame clearly establishes a visible a person figure; the standing man is not identifiable as a person from appearance.
