A large seated congregation fills a hall, most wearing white and cream clothing with gold borders, and many women with long dark hair in braids. Rows of devotees sit cross-legged on the floor before a stage with a golden ornate shrine and deity murti at the back. Two screens on either side show a bearded figure in saffron, and a priest in orange stands near the shrine. Tall brass lamps with flames stand among the seated rows. Mostly white-clad devotees dominate the frame, with some saffron-clad participants visible.
