A large crowd of women fills a white-tented hall, most wearing white headbands and saris in colours such as purple, red, yellow, orange, teal and cream. Their hair is mostly in long braids or plaits seen from behind. At the front, a large banner shows a smiling man in a light head wrap beside Tamil script, and a smaller framed portrait and a concentric-circle target board hang nearby. Plastic chairs are scattered among the standing devotees.
