A large seated crowd of devotees in an indoor hall, mostly young people in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings. Many sit cross-legged on the floor in rows, some clapping or raising hands, others resting chins on hands. A woman in a white sari with a red bindi sits among them, and older men in white dhotis and shirts stand or sit in the background near white walls and a golden-yellow backdrop. No clearly identifiable central figure is in view, and no one stands out as a candidate for the a person; the scene reads as satsang or a discourse audience.
