A large group of seated devotees sits cross-legged on mats and bare floor in a plain whitewashed hall under fluorescent lights, apparently in meditation or satsang. Most wear white clothes, many with orange or saffron shawls, and some women wear yellow, purple and green saris. Several have eyes closed and hands folded in prayer. Dozens of people fill the rows, with more seated at the back. On the right, a doorway shows a wall hung with brass bells and a decorative red and gold panel. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person in this view.
