Rows of women in orange saris and bare-shouldered orange robes sit cross-legged on mats facing the front, with several wearing beaded necklaces and hair in buns. Brass cups and small leaf plates with food are set on the floor in front of them. Further back, men in white and orange clothing sit among rows of devotees, and a green-clad figure appears in a painting on the left wall. A stage area with a yellow-draped table and several standing attendants in white is visible at the far right, with a framed photo display on the wall behind.
