A large hall with a white tiled floor and a drop ceiling full of fans and lights shows a seated congregation of men facing a stage at the far end. Most are bare-chested, wearing white dhotis with gold borders and sitting on the floor, many with sacred threads and a few with rudraksha or beaded necklaces. Several women in white saris sit on the right side, and a child lies on a cloth at lower right. At the front, a golden-framed deity murti stands on the stage beside saffron-robed figures, and a man in orange robes stands at the right edge. Framed paintings hang on the side walls and red curtains drape the stage. Many people.
