A seated congregation fills a bright open hall with whitewashed walls and a steel roof, decorated with tall painted cloth banners in red, blue, yellow and white with floral and bird motifs. Men in white shirts and dhotis and women in saris in purple, blue, red and green sit on the floor in rows. A man in white with an orange-and-white cloth draped over his shoulder bends forward near the right edge, apparently attending to an arrangement at the front. Several men have sandalwood or vibhuti marks on their foreheads and wear white beaded necklaces.
