A large indoor hall with pale grey walls, a corrugated metal roof and exposed blue steel beams. Long rows of seated devotees fill the floor: women in colourful saris in blue, green, red, orange and white, many with hands pressed together in namaskar, and men in white dhotis and shirts seated at the back. Tall cylindrical hanging decorations in red, green, orange and yellow with painted motifs hang from the ceiling. A video camera on a tripod stands among the crowd near the front, and a speaker sits at the side of the hall. The scene suggests a satsang gathering in progress.
