A seated congregation fills a hall with patterned wallpaper and a red EXIT sign above the doorway. Most devotees wear orange shawls over white kurtas or white t-shirts, and many clap their hands. A young boy in a yellow top and red-beaded necklace smiles in the foreground. A shaven-headed monk in orange robes and gold chain sits at the bottom edge. Along the back wall, a few people stand in white near the open doorway. Bags, water bottles and a red-and-white striped mat lie on the floor. No one clearly matches a visible a person candidate, so the seated figures are described by role only.
