A large open-sided convention hall with a corrugated green-and-grey roof on bamboo and metal posts, where hundreds of men sit cross-legged on a green mat in rows. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, and many have white cloth bands tied across their foreheads. Several wear pink or patterned shirts. Bright tube lights hang along the hall, and banners and framed portraits hang from the posts, including a red banner at the far end. Green plants stand among the rows. The audience appears to be attending a satsang or discourse.
