A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees on orange and white mats, mostly men shirtless or bare-chested wearing white dhotis and saffron cloth, many with rudraksha malas. Ornate hanging decorations with colourful tassels and chandeliers hang from the ceiling, with framed pictures along the walls and red curtains. Near the right, a screen shows a figure holding a staff against a dark background. The crowd sits in rows facing the front, many with eyes closed or looking forward during a sacred ritual session.
