A large hall with a white ceiling draped in fabric and hung with colourful striped pillar decorations. Dozens of seated devotees fill the floor in rows: many men wear saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas, others wear white dhoti-style clothing, and a few women in orange sit near the front left. Each person sits on a mat before brass puja plates, bowls and small lamps, and several hold open books. At the far left, a stage has a backdrop reading Dhaaraa 2010 with an orange image, and a small monitor on a stand faces the seated crowd. Several people in orange sit at the front, and one bald man in orange appears to chant with hands folded. The scene looks like a group puja or satsang session.
