A large indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange-painted walls, filled with seated devotees facing a distant stage at the far end. Many attendees wear white clothing, and some wear orange or saffron garments and pastel kurtas. Long rows of seekers sit on mats and on blue plastic chairs at the right, with steel railings dividing the central aisle lined with red carpet. Several people in the foreground have long hair and are seated with their backs to the camera. Along the walls hang framed photographs and printed panels, and tall banners with woven patterns hang near the stage, which holds an illuminated decorated altar area and a figure in the distance.

Devotees sit on the floor of a covered orange-walled hall during a satsang, many with hands pressed together in namaskar. Most wear white ritual clothing; a woman in a green and gold sari sits on the front-left mat beside a red carpet, and a man in a red shirt sits to the right. Tall cylindrical banners in red, yellow and blue patterns hang along the room, and framed panels line the walls. At the far right edge, a figure in saffron and white stands near a wooden lectern. No clearly distinctive appearance cues establish his identity, so he is described only by role.
