A photo of a hall with a thatched ceiling and white walls, where a large seated gathering of devotees fills the floor. In the centre foreground, a woman in an orange sari sits on a striped mat holding a microphone on a stand, while a man in orange robes stands in front of the group. Many people in white and orange clothing sit cross-legged, with others in white dhotis and saris standing along the back and left side. A dark cushion and white cloth are visible at the right edge.

A large seated gathering of devotees fills a hall with a thatched roof, plain white walls and white curtained windows.

At the right, a long-haired person in orange robes sits near a microphone stand, smiling and speaking to the group. In the doorway at upper left, a man in white stands near another seated figure. Ceiling fans, wooden beams and a hanging tube light are visible. Many people are present, so the count is a large group.
