A large indoor hall with white tiled floor and ceiling fans, where a crowd sits on the floor in a wide circle facing a central figure. Many participants wear orange and saffron robes, while others wear white dhotis and some are bare-chested. A man at the centre is bare-chested, seated near a low platform with a drum and small ritual setup. Two large screens on the walls show the proceedings, and framed portraits and pictures line the walls. Carpet strips and mats are laid out on the floor, and a few chairs are placed near the front. Items such as bags and water bottles sit beside some participants.
