A large hall with a white draped fabric ceiling and hanging colourful cylindrical decorations, with a crowd of many people seated on mats and chairs on the floor, most in white or pastel clothing, performing a lamp-lit devotional ritual. Many attendees hold or tend small oil lamps and brass plates with offerings, and a few wear saffron-coloured scarves. Wall screens and bright lighting frame the gathering. The seated congregation fills most of the floor. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person in this wide view.
