Long rows of seated devotees share a meal on banana leaves in a large hall with a polished white floor. Men in white dhotis and yellow turbans sit on the left, wearing red sashes, and women in white and red saris sit on the right. Cups of water line the leaves. At the far end, a central figure in orange robes sits on a raised orange-draped seat beneath yellow and orange hangings, with floral decoration, and a single person in white bends forward near the aisle. Two projection screens and a red curtain frame the back of the hall.
