Many people sit cross-legged on the floor in rows, with men in white dhotis and red-orange shawls and women in orange, red and white garments, some wearing red-orange scarves. At the far end, a golden throne-like seat stands before a raised platform, where a figure in orange-saffron robes sits central; several priests in white and orange stand and attend nearby.
