On a gold-framed throne-like peetha at the back, a framed portrait of a deity or saint is garlanded with orange and red flowers, flanked by tall brass lamps. Two large flat-screen monitors stand at the front. A white pedestal fan is on the right. Most attendees sit cross-legged on the floor, many in white or cream saris and dhotis, some in orange, red and yellow clothes, with hair in long plaits. Two women in orange sit at a microphone at the far left, and a few devotees hold small brass plates.
