Many devotees sit on the floor in rows behind silver metal railings, most wearing white or pale clothing, with several in orange and red tones. Several men wear red beaded necklaces and red-cord lanyards. Tall decorative columns in red, white and orange patterns with bird motifs stand along the wall, and framed printed panels hang above. Two people in white stand near the back. A man in an orange shirt sits in the foreground beside a child in red. No individual is clearly identifiable as the swami from the visible cues, so the swami status is unsure.
