A large indoor hall where many seated devotees sit cross-legged on a white floor with hands folded in prayer or meditation. Most wear orange or saffron garments; several women wear white and some wear red or pink saris. Small brass oil lamps, plates and kumkum or vibhuti dishes sit on red and orange mats in front of them. Colourful orange and red banners hang from the ceiling, and bookshelves line the back wall. No single presider is clearly identifiable at the front, so no a person candidate is visible.
