A large hall with a polished white floor where two long rows of seated women in orange and maroon saris sit facing each other with leaf plates of food and small cups set before them, apparently an annadan-style meal. Women in orange saris wearing rudraksha malas sit on the left and women in maroon saris on the right, with rows of green leaf plates between them. Behind them, seated devotees in white and red clothing, some with red shawls, watch and fold hands in namaste on chairs and mats. A white statue or deity murti stands on a pedestal at the top left corner.
