A large seated gathering of devotees in white ritual clothes sits on mats in a bright hall lined with potted palms. Many wear white kurtas or shirts with maroon and red lanyards or cords around their necks; a few wear orange or maroon garments. Some sit with eyes closed or heads bowed in meditation or ritual participation, while others look toward the front. A brass oil lamp and small brass vessels rest on a cloth near the front row. Nearby devotees in pale blue, orange and salmon colours fill the rows. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd.
