A large hall packed with devotees seated on the floor, many in white dhotis and shirts with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, hands pressed together in namaskar or clapping. The white hall has green-trimmed ceiling panels, rows of ceiling fans, and a balcony above filled with onlookers. A figure in white with an orange shawl stands at the far back near a podium, the only possible presenter visible, but too distant and small to confirm identity. Lamps and strings of lights line the upper walls.
