A photograph of a large hall with many seated devotees, mostly women in sarees and salwar kameez, sitting on mats with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. Brass puja plates with oil lamps and offerings sit on the floor in front of several of them. Among them are a man in a yellow shawl and white clothes, and a few children. Men in white shirts sit on chairs at the back right, and a red curtain hangs by a window. Framed pictures hang on the wall behind. The scene suggests satsang or group prayer.

Photo of a seated group in a bright hall with pale walls, red curtains and stacked chairs, participants sitting cross-legged on woven mats and some wearing headphones. Many wear white or pastel kurtas and salwar, saffron-red shawls and sarees; a woman in yellow and another in a cream saree sit near the front. Several people hold a hand to the nose or face in breathing practice. In front on the floor are a small silver plate with a brass lamp and a pink-trimmed offering tray, a water bottle and a notebook. A person in white stands by the back wall. Visible people: about 25, seated and standing.

In the foreground a woman in a cream and red patterned sari with a gold-bordered pallu sits with hands together. Beside her a woman in orange and pink clothes sits behind a tray of brass and steel plates holding flowers, fruit and small offerings. Other participants wear white kurtas and orange saris, and one older woman in a brown and gold sari sits at the right. Brass oil lamps and small plates line the orange cloths on the floor. Behind them a gilded deity murti sits on a raised altar near red curtains, and a tall mirror reflects the room.

A seated congregation of women and girls, many with palms pressed together in prayer, fills a hall at what appears to be a satsang or puja.
