Devotees in white clothing sit cross-legged on colourful striped rugs in a large hall, facing a stage with a red and orange backdrop painted with a banyan tree. Many participants hold their hands in anjali or prayer posture, and small brass oil lamps and plates sit on the mats in front of them. On the stage, several people in white and an orange-clad figure sit near a flower-decorated altar. Colourful hanging banners and ceiling fans decorate the hall.
