A large hall with yellow walls and a green carpeted aisle, where a crowd of mostly men in white shirts and white dhotis sits and stands. Many raise their hands in the air while others clasp their palms together. Some wear rudraksha malas and lanyard badges. Ceiling fans, a balcony packed with spectators, and black speakers frame the room. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti in the centre has his hands pressed together in namaste. Watermarked photo styling aside, the scene resembles an ashram satsang or darshan gathering. Several people wear orange or red shirts among the white-clad crowd.
