A large crowd of devotees fills an indoor hall, most in orange and saffron clothing with dark rudraksha malas around their necks. Many stand with hands raised and palms together in devotion, while women in white and bright orange saris clap or raise their arms. A young girl in a white top with an orange-and-red scarf stands at center. Framed photographs of ceremonies hang on the wall behind them, and white air conditioners are mounted above. No single figure with distinctive presiding cues is clearly visible, so no a person candidate is identified.
