A large indoor satsang hall with a dark red carpet, where a crowd of devotees stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Most women wear white sarees or white kurta-and-pant sets, several with gold borders, and many wear dark red-brown rudraksha-style malas around their necks. Some have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Others in the back wear white and cream clothing. Yellow cushions or mats lie on the floor in front of the rows, and framed artwork hangs on the wall behind them.
