A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees in white clothing, many with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed, as if in prayer or meditation. Many wear white kurtas or saris and some have red lanyards, while others wear pink, green, orange and blue garments. Small oil lamps or offering plates sit on the floor before them, and colourful hanging cloth pillars and white canopy fans decorate the ceiling. No clearly identifiable central figure is prominently visible in the frame, so no a person candidate is confirmed.
