A large indoor hall during a seated satsang or darshan gathering. A central figure in an orange-red robe with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne-like chair at the far end, flanked by a low table with a bowl and a small instrument. Around him a dense crowd sits cross-legged on a striped multicoloured runner and white floor mats. Many men are bare-chested with red-and-white shawls draped over one shoulder, and women wear white saris or orange garments; several have long braided hair and beaded necklaces. Some participants wear rudraksha malas. Two white folding chairs with red seats stand at the left edge, a large gong and a cymbal-like drum are visible near the throne, and a water bottle sits on the floor in front. A wall clock reads 15:32 and framed artwork hangs on the back wall.
