Women wear orange or maroon saris and white garments, and several men wear white kurtas. Some people sit with hands folded in prayer, others with eyes closed. Metal stanchions with chains divide the rows, and red curtains and a whiteboard hang on the back wall. No single leader is clearly identifiable among the seated crowd.
