A crowded indoor hall with white walls and a row of framed portrait photographs hung high on the back wall. A person in an orange saffron garment with a matching orange head wrap stands at the left edge, with long hair visible, facing the crowd. Many men in white shirts and white dhotis mill about, and several have their hands pressed together in namaste greeting. Women in saris, one in green and gold, stand near the front, and a few spectators in colourful shirts line the room. Chairs are arranged along the right side. The orange-clad figure is a sannyasi-like devotee; whether it is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
