A large hall with a white fabric ceiling and colourful hanging pennants fills the frame, with a crowd of several hundred people seated in rows on orange and white mats. Most wear white dhoti-style clothing and sit cross-legged with palms together, many holding small oil lamps lit in front of them. Brass trays with offerings, plates, and small brass vessels sit before the seated rows. Two monastic men in saffron-orange robes sit near the front left, one with a shaved head. A video camera on a tripod and a monitor stand near the centre. The scene suggests a group puja or satsang, with lamps lit as devotees sit quietly in meditation or prayer.
