A large hall filled with a crowd of devotees dressed in white, many wearing white blindfold-style headbands, standing in rows on colourful striped mats and orange cushions. Some wear orange or saffron shawls and white garlands; a few carry orange cloth bags. Tall decorative pillars wrapped in yellow, blue and red patterned fabric hang from the white ceiling, and a painted mural with a deity figure is visible on the left wall. In the foreground a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl stands with his hands together, and a white-clad man near the centre holds a paper. A bottle of water sits on the floor beside a small table. No identifiable a person is distinguishable with confidence from appearance alone.
