A large hall where many women and girls in saffron-orange robes sit in long rows on white cloth before banana-leaf plates of food and metal tumblers. A large screen at the front shows a man in a red-and-white garment, and a framed portrait on the back wall shows a figure in orange. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand and walk among the rows, and a man in white with a shawl stands at right. A golden shrine is visible at left, and a wall of framed photographs hangs at upper right. Some women wear gold necklaces and beaded jewellery, and several have long braids.
