A large seated congregation fills a ceremonial hall during a ritual. Foreground devotees in orange and saffron cloths sit on the floor, some with hands pressed in anjali, others with eyes closed. Several men in white dhotis and bare upper bodies, with rudraksha malas, sit with palms joined, one with a red-and-white tilak. Women wear orange garments and hair buns with flower decorations. Behind them, rows of people in white and red clothing sit on white chairs. Two video cameras on tripods stand among them, and gold ornamental finials decorate the room's edge.
