A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees in white and saffron clothing during a satsang. Rows of women in orange and saffron saris and men in white kurtas sit on orange mats, many with brass puja plates, lamps, kalasha-style vessels and small bowls of offerings in front of them. Colourful hanging tassel banners line the pink walls. At the front right, a camera on a tripod and a television screen show a live feed of the event. A few people sit near the front left, and the crowd extends to the back of the room. No clear person in the scene is identifiable as the a person from appearance, so no candidate is noted.
