A large seated audience of devotees fills a white-walled hall with a corrugated metal roof and fluorescent tube lights. Most attendees wear white clothes, and many women wear white saris with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. They sit cross-legged on the floor facing forward, some with hands folded in prayer. Along the right wall, glass display cabinets hold personal objects, with a red and gold palanquin-style shrine piece in front. Framed deity images hang on the left. A small figure in orange robes sits at the far front of the room, but the crowd is dense and the figure is too small to judge clearly. A carved wooden sign above the cabinets reads in Kannada and English, 'Things Used by Paramahamsa in his young age'.
