A long hall with a corrugated metal roof and tall decorative pillars in red, white and blue patterns with orange tassels. Dozens of devotees, mostly wearing white clothes with white head cloths tied at the back, kneel and bow forward with their foreheads touching mats on the floor in prostration. Some wear red, pink, green or patterned garments, and several sit on folded mats while others kneel on the bare concrete. A tripod-mounted camera stands among them. Framed panels and photographs line the left wall, and a figure in white stands near the far doorway. The congregation fills the hall in rows.
