A large hall with a glossy white floor and colourful hanging lanterns and ornate lights overhead. Dozens of men, many bare-chested and wearing dark trousers, stand in rows facing a stage at the far end, with white sacred threads across their shoulders. Women in dark and light salwar clothing stand on the right side. Two large screens flank the stage showing a glowing red-and-gold deity image, and a central deity backdrop hangs behind a red curtain. The scene resembles an organised group practice or aushadha process within a temple-style hall.
