A seated group of devotees fills a bare-walled hall with striped floor mats, many in white traditional clothing with gold borders. In the foreground, women sit in rows facing a raised platform at the right, where a woman in an orange sari sits beside a seated figure in orange robes on a white-draped seat with a striped cushion. A large framed painted portrait of a figure in orange hangs on the wall above, and brass lamps stand on either side. A television screen on a stand shows an image, with a dark deity murti and other items on a table at left. Some devotees are partly visible at the bottom edge, and one woman holds a camera.
