Many devotees in white dhotis and white shirts, several wearing red-orange shawls, stand and sit on mats in a crowded congregation.

A golden shrine with deity murti and a kalasha-like gold canopy stands at the far end, with framed photographs and posters on the walls. The photo is partly watermarked-free and shows a satsang or puja gathering.
