A hall with a long row of devotees seated on the floor along both sides, facing a central aisle. The seated devotees wear white clothes and orange or saffron head cloths, and sit before long banana leaves laid with food, with small white cups set along the leaves. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers with a white cap walks down the aisle, while a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a white cap bends forward at the front left. At the far end, a figure in red and orange robes sits on a large golden throne draped with an orange cloth, with a low orange-draped table holding offerings before it. Red curtains hang behind, with orange and red decorative banners above. A white fan and an air conditioning unit are visible along the wall.
