A large crowd of devotees sits cross-legged on a tiled floor in a pale pink hall during a satsang-style gathering. Many men wear white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas; several wear orange or saffron cloths. Most sit with palms pressed together in anjali, and a few hold hands folded at the chest. Bright wall panels, a tripod-mounted camera stand and a large screen at the back frame the scene. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues.
