Most wear white shirts and dhotis or white kurtas, with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and lanyards around their necks. Rows of white plastic chairs are stacked at the back and sides, and colourful striped mats cover the floor. At the left, a stage backdrop shows a painted night mountain scene, with a small deity murti or figure in saffron robes seated on a platform decorated with flowers and oil lamps. Woven patterned banners hang from the ceiling and scaffolding frames stand at the upper corners.
