A large seated congregation of men in white dhotis and white shirts fills a hall, many with white vibhuti marks on their foreheads and some wearing rudraksha malas. In the centre, a shaven-headed priest in an orange-red dhoti and shawl stands holding a brass vessel, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. A standing attendant in a white dhoti with a yellow sash and a gold-coloured necklace stands beside him. Several seated devotees raise hands or hold yellow cloth and red papers. A digital clock on the wall reads 24.11.2015 08:29. Ceremonial activity such as a puja or abhishekam is taking place in the assembly.
