A large hall with a polished white marble floor where many people sit in rows facing a raised stage. Most seated men are bare-chested or wear white dhotis with gold borders and sacred threads, some with rudraksha malas. Women in orange and white saris sit among them. On the stage, a golden throne-like seat and a deity murti stand between gold-covered side panels, with a red curtain behind. Oil lamps, flower offerings and small plates lie on the floor in front of the seated congregation. Two large screens show a figure in red robes, and cameras on tripods film the scene.
