A large hall filled with hundreds of seated people in white and saffron clothing, with a long central aisle covered by a beige runner and lined with silver stanchions. Rows of devotees sit on mats, many wearing white, and in the foreground several people in maroon and orange robes sit before brass plates of offerings, lamps and flowers. Red curtains line the windows, and framed pictures hang on the side walls.

Rows of devotees sit on mats across the floor, with saffron and orange-robed attendees on the right and left, and many people in white clothing at the back. A long pale carpet runs down the centre aisle between metal stanchion posts with ropes. Red curtains line the windows and white ceiling fans and lights hang above. Brass lamps and small offerings sit on the floor near the front rows. A small ornate gold shrine or altar is visible at the far end of the hall.
