A hall with a tiled floor where a group of women sits cross-legged on mats in a pujas-style setting. 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 satsang gathering of women in a hall with white walls, a pale-curtained door and a red curtain at left. Most women sit cross-legged on the floor in orange or saffron shawls over white and cream sarees, with several holding open notebooks, and food offerings in small plates and containers are arranged on a mat before them. Along the back, women sit on chairs; one in white and orange holds a microphone at right beside a keyboard and speakers, and another in white with an orange shawl sits at the far right. The scene reads as a women's spiritual discourse session with ritual food offerings.
