A large indoor satsang hall with a polished white floor, where many seated women in white saris and saffron-orange shawls sit cross-legged in rows, most with palms pressed together in prayer. Before the front rows, each woman has a brass puja plate on an orange cloth, with brass bowls, lamps, incense sticks and flower petals. Some wear yellow shawls and some wear white with orange.
