A large hall with a patterned gold-and-brown carpet holds many seated devotees dressed in white, most sitting cross-legged on mats with red-orange shawls and bags nearby. Several men in the foreground wear orange-red shawls and rudraksha malas; one man at centre has hands joined in anjali. Brass or metal stands with small offering plates and small oil lamps are arranged among the rows. Behind them, rows of women in white and men in white sit in meditation or satsang, with chairs lining the back wall and a curtained stage area at upper right. The scene appears to be a group meditation or padukapuja-style gathering.
