Rows of devotees sit on striped floor mats, many in white kurtas and dhotis with name badges, and a few women wear red and patterned saris. Yellow and orange cushioned mats lie in the foreground. In the right foreground, a figure with a shaved or short head wears an orange robe and stands with back to the camera, facing the crowd. Hanging decorative tassels in yellow, orange and blue line the ceiling, and a painted deity backdrop with a small orange-robed figure sits at the far left stage area. Folding chairs and a bookstall appear at the right edge.
