A large indoor hall with white walls and plastic chairs holds a seated crowd of devotees with palms pressed together in namaskar, most wearing white clothes with yellow or orange shawls and some women in bright saris. A banner with Tamil script hangs on the back wall between colourful patterned pillars, and a yellow-curtained doorway is at right. The front of the hall is out of frame, so no central figure is visible here.
