A large crowd of devotees, mostly dressed in white, sits closely packed on the floor of a hall with a white fabric-draped ceiling. Decorative hanging panels in blue, red, yellow and gold with painted elephant motifs hang from the ceiling. Black speakers sit high on the walls, and a video camera on a tripod stands at the right edge of the frame, recording the gathering. Many attendees, including some with grey hair and some wearing yellow or orange shawls, face forward toward an unseen front of the hall, while others sit with hands folded in prayer. White lattice windows and wooden doors line the back wall.
