A large group of seated devotees in white ritual clothing fills a tiled-floor hall under a metal-framed roof. Many men and women wear white dhotis, sarees and kurtas, with some in orange or saffron garments and rudraksha malas. They sit on floor mats facing forward, attentive to an unseen speaker. Glass display cabinets hold ritual objects and a small figure, and a red-canopied palanquin-style structure stands at the left. A wall plaque reads Things Used by Paramahamsa in his young age, and framed photographs hang on the wall. No clearly identifiable a person is visible in the seated crowd.
