A large satsang hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees in rows on mats, most wearing white and orange-saffron clothing with rudraksha mala necklaces. Several men in front wear white dhotis and shirts, some with white forehead bands. Behind them, many younger devotees in saffron robes sit facing forward. Golden deity shrines and decorated altars line the back wall, and framed pictures hang on the walls. A woman with a white forehead band sits at the lower right. Many people are seated with hands folded or resting on laps, and some have small plates of offerings in front of them.
