A large hall filled with hundreds of seated people in white and saffron clothing, with a long central aisle covered by a beige runner and lined with silver stanchions. Rows of devotees sit on mats, many wearing white, and in the foreground several people in maroon and orange robes sit before brass plates of offerings, lamps and flowers. Red curtains line the windows, and framed pictures hang on the side walls. The scene suggests a satsang or ritual gathering, though no clear figure can be identified as a specific person.
