A large indoor hall with cream walls and hanging decorative streamers and lanterns from the ceiling. Several hundred people sit cross-legged on the floor facing forward, many dressed in saffron-orange robes and white dhotis. Men and boys have white and orange tilaka marks and rudraksha malas; a bearded man in front wears a saffron wrap and long beaded mala. Two drums with white heads sit in the foreground beside seated devotees. Framed pictures hang on the walls behind the gathering.
