A large crowd of devotees gathers in an indoor hall with red curtains and a stage backdrop, many with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. In the centre, a man with long dreadlocked hair and a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders, with a rudraksha mala, stands near a smiling man in a white kurta with hands folded. Around them, people in white, yellow, red and blue clothes wear rudraksha and bead malas, some with hands raised in greeting and others seated at the edges, reflecting a satsang or darshan atmosphere.
