Most men wear white dhotis and shirts with saffron-yellow borders and rudraksha malas, while women wear white and cream saris with gold borders.

A few standing figures in white and saffron stand at the far front of the hall near a fence, facing the gathering, possibly leading a session. Bright stage lights hang from the canopy frame.
