A large indoor session in a white tented hall with striped decorative hangings and a maroon curtained stage. Many seated devotees in white clothes, some with gold-bordered saris, sit on orange and gold floor mats with arms raised. On the far stage, a figure in orange robes sits on a white dais near a microphone stand, with a fan-like object nearby. The attendees appear to be following a guided session. A small grey placard is visible on the side wall. The people visible are numerous, so the count is estimated at 100+ based on the dense rows filling the frame.
