A large seated congregation fills an open-sided hall with white walls and a grey tiled roof, sitting cross-legged on striped woven mats. Most attendees wear white clothing, men in white shirts and dhotis, women in white and patterned saris, with a few in orange or red. Several children, including girls with long plaited hair, sit in the foreground. At the far end, on a raised stage, a decorated deity murti stands before red drapes and a standing figure in orange speaks to the gathering, while a cameraman films from the right. A sound speaker and a sofa are visible at the left edge.
