A large indoor hall packed with devotees, mostly men in white dhotis and shirts, some in pastel or colourful shirts, many wearing lanyard badges and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Many stand with raised arms and hands in the air, some pointing upward, while those seated on blue-and-white striped mats and green mats clap and smile. The room has yellow walls, tall windows with grills and a balcony at upper left. No single central figure is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd; the scene reads as a satsang-style gathering of energetic devotees.
