Most wear white or cream dhotis and saris with coloured borders, and a few wear orange or red saris. Brass thalis, oil lamps, flower offerings and small bowls sit before them, and several hold open papers. At the far end a raised white stage with a throne-like seat holds a figure in white, surrounded by seated attendants, while a large projection screen and a camera on a tripod record the gathering. Two people at the front left sit in front of an oil lamp and brass plate, and a figure with long hair and a beard sits in white at the left edge.
