A large hall with a light pink wall and white draped ceiling holds a seated congregation facing a distant altar. Foreground devotees in white dhotis and shawls sit on orange mats before brass plates of offerings and small oil lamps. At the front left, a monk in saffron-orange robes sits with a bare shaved head, among a row of white-clad men. Tall decorative pillars hang from the ceiling with orange tassels, and a video camera on a tripod records the gathering. Several hundred people fill the hall, many in white and yellow clothing.
