A large seated audience fills the hall, mostly men in white ritual clothes with forehead markings of white and sandal or vibhuti. Many wear saffron or orange shawls, rudraksha malas and identification lanyards. Several clap with their hands raised, while others sit attentively looking toward the front. Some wear pale purple, teal or lavender shirts among the white. No single a person candidate is clearly identifiable in the crowd.

A dense crowd of devotees seated closely together in a large hall, many wearing white dhoti-style garments with orange-red shawls and orange lanyards. In the centre, a bald man in round glasses and white clothing with an orange-red shawl presses his palms together and smiles, with earphones visible. Around him, older men with grey hair and glasses and younger men with shaved heads or short hair clap and sit in rows.
