A large hall with a white tiled floor, hanging saffron and red decorative lanterns, and framed portraits on the walls. Many men sit cross-legged on orange mats, bare-chested and wearing white dhotis with rudraksha malas around their necks, several with palms pressed together in prayer. Others sit on chairs at the right edge. At the far end, altars are set up with white and red draped tables. Ordinary devotees dominate the frame; no figure is identified as a particular person and no one is shown in a throne or elevated position.
