Several rows of devotees sit cross-legged facing the stage, many wearing white dhotis with gold borders, saffron-orange shawls and rudraksha malas, and some with orange turbans. A deity murti in a gold arch with flower garlands stands at the right, and video cameras on tripods film the scene. Brass lamps line the front railing.
