Indoor satsang or puja in a hall with pale walls; several men and women sit cross-legged on the floor in rows, many in white dhotis and white garments with ash markings on their chests and arms. The central man wears an orange-red turban, a white dhoti and shawl with a gold border, a white-bead and rudraksha mala, and a sacred-symbol tattoo on his upper arm; he holds his hands over a brass tray of puja items. Beside him a young man with dark hair and white ash marks sits with eyes closed, and to the right a man in white is seated. Brass plates with offerings, small oil lamps and a flower-decorated tray lie on a purple cloth in front, and a deity murti stands in the background. Blurred devotees in orange and pink sit further back.
