A large seated congregation fills a bright hall, mostly men in white dhotis and white shirts with orange-and-cream shawls, many wearing rudraksha malas. Several have vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. In the foreground a man with long light-brown hair and a red mark on his forehead sits cross-armed, wearing an orange-bordered white wrap, a rudraksha mala and a gold chain. Behind him and beside him other men sit attentively, some with folded arms and some in glasses. Rows of people extend toward a distant stage area with pink lighting. Dense crowd, visible count well over one hundred.
