A large indoor hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees, most wearing white headbands covering their eyes, arranged in rows across a green carpeted central aisle. Men in white kurtas and dhotis sit on the right, women in colourful saris (yellow, pink, orange, blue) sit on the left, and a row of robed figures in white and saffron sits on a raised stage at the back. Wooden panelled walls, ceiling fans and windows surround the hall, and a video camera on a tripod stands near the aisle. This appears to be a satsang and dhyana session with darshan, with the attendees meditating blindfolded.
