Tall cylindrical hangings with red, blue and yellow geometric patterns and orange fringes hang from the ceiling. A man in a red-checked shirt stands near the back wall beside a small altar table, and a woman in a red garment stands further back. Framed pictures line the walls.

A large indoor hall filled with seated participants on orange and white mats, most dressed in white kurtas or white clothing with rudraksha malas, some in orange or grey. Many have shaved heads. Above them hang colourful striped cloth pennants with orange tassels from a white draped ceiling. At the front, a small altar with deity murtis and flower decorations is visible on the right, and a person in white stands near the far end. The scene looks like a meditation or satsang session, with participants seated in rows facing forward.
