Wide view of a hall where many shaved-headed men in white dhotis and white upper cloths sit cross-legged on mats and orange cloth squares in rows, many with white horizontal tilaka marks on their foreheads and arms and rudraksha malas. Each seated person has a brass plate with flowers, a small lit oil lamp and brass bowls in front of them, and some are holding papers or booklets. Pink walls, white curtains and orange chairs stand at the back, and a red and gold throne with a purple cloth on a small table sits at the far left, currently empty.
