A large indoor hall with a seated meditation audience of many devotees dressed mostly in white, some men in white shirts and dhotis, women in white saris and some in coloured saris. In the foreground, a bald man in a bright orange-pink turban sits facing away from the camera, and a woman in a red and gold sari sits at the front. Plastic chairs are stacked along the right wall, with draped bunting and blue patterned curtains on the windows. A small speaker sits on the wall, and a yellow sign is visible at the upper left. The scene looks like a satsang or meditation session in progress. No a person figure is clearly visible, so the in-person candidate is uncertain.
