Ramnamis believe in a simplistic philosophy of belonging to the very basic social codes. They practice austerity even in the look of their assembly halls. A white ceiling over white pillars inscribed with the concept ‘Ram’ all over stands for their prayer-room, or ‘bhajan-ghar’. They keep a copy of ‘Ramcharitmanash’ inside, in place of any deity. In appearance, a prayer room is just an extension of the Ramnami himself—physically, or spiritually.
