A large seated crowd of devotees fills an indoor hall with pink walls and framed religious pictures. Most men wear white dhotis and white shirts or are bare-chested with yellow-bordered white cloth, rudraksha malas and white body markings. Several men in front wear saffron-orange cloth and rudraksha malas, one of them with a sandalwood-streaked face. Two young boys in white and orange sit in the foreground. Many people sit with eyes closed or gaze forward in meditation. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues alone.
