A large seated congregation sits in rows on colourful striped mats and cushions inside a spacious hall with pale tiled floor and carved stone pillars along the back wall. Many women wear flower garlands of yellow and orange marigolds and sit with palms pressed together in namaste. Several wear saffron and orange robes, others wear white or cream saris and dress in green, purple, and maroon. Behind them, more seated attendees in white and orange fill the room, and a few standing figures are visible near the doorway on the right. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation session.
