Interior of a covered satsang hall with a corrugated metal roof, exposed steel trusses and hanging star-shaped paper ornaments. Rows of seated devotees, mostly in white clothes, face a raised shrine at the far end where a colourful deity murti is decorated and framed by orange drapes. A central red carpeted aisle with metal railings leads toward the shrine. Some devotees wear saffron and other colours; a few are bald or shaved-headed men in white. Hanging woven textile panels in red, black and cream decorate the walls, and framed photographs line the right wall. No one can be clearly identified as a specific individual; the scene shows a large seated congregation during a satsang or pada puja gathering.
